+## Summary
+
+- Registered on truehost.cloud (AKA truehost.co.ke)
+- Uses Cloudflare
+- Uses unusual fonts
+- Only recently active
+
+## Wayback machine
+
+All entries ([source](https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/ja.ke)):
+
+- Aug 20th: Error 521
+- Oct 6th: Error 521
+- Oct 8th: Error 521
+- Nov 18th: "ja.ke"
+- Dec 18th: "ja.ke"
+
+Note that error 521 is a Cloudflare issue.
+
+## DNS clues
+
+DNS checkers seem to give weird responses, but it confirms the Cloudflare hosting. [DomainTools](https://whois.domaintools.com/ja.ke) reports:
+
+- IP Location: United States - California - San Jose - Cloudflare Inc.
+- IP History: 1 change on 1 unique IP addresses over 0 years
+- Hosting History: 2 changes on 3 unique name servers over 0 year
+
+Even Kenya registry's whois [gives an error](https://www.webhostkenya.co.ke/wp-content/plugins/whmpress/whois.php?domain=ja.ke).
+
+[Afriregister](https://afriregister.co.ke/whois.php?action=check&sld=ja&tld=.ke) gives registrar info (and confirms Cloudflare again):
+
+- Registrar: Truehost Cloud Limited
+- Registrar IANA ID: P051332644V
+- Registrar Address: Ryanada Place, Thika Superhighway, Highpoint, Juja. P.O. Box 14460 - 00400. Nairobi. Kenya.
+
+## Mail server
+
+MX records (MX, SPF) confirm using Google (so probably Google Workspace), plus a `google-site-verification`.
+
+## Source code clues
+
+- `MorePerfectDOSVGA` and `BerkeleyMono-Regular` are _not_ commonly used fonts.
+- More Perfect DOS VGA (2013) is [Laemeur's modification](https://laemeur.sdf.org/fonts/) of Perfect DOS VGA 437 (2003) by [Zeh Fernando](https://zehfernando.com/2015/revisiting-vga-fonts/), but created in FontForge in 2013 (file metadata) so likely irrelevant.
+
+Searching for snippets of the source code returns nothing, indicating this isn't lazily copy-pasted code, it's been written for this project.
