# Moved an RSS Feed to a new domain
Wednesday, 8. October 2025


In July, I [announced](https://raphting.dev/posts/moving-rss/) moving to a new domain with the free certificate monitor. 

I was not sure how this will go, as I am solely relying on RSS client behavior, and I never even
thought about moving an RSS feed to a new domain name before.
For a technical explanation how to achieve such a stunt, check the linked post.

In July, there were **278 domains** that got queried at least once
in the past 30 days.

Now, after the switch was completed and the old domain was shut off, there are **133 domains** left.
That's a 50% loss of monitored domains.

As I described before, I see this as a technical exercise in trying my best to keep user impact low.
At the same time, I think nobody critically depends on the service, so I accept that there's some loss on the way.

I use the iPhone App _Reeder 5.5.1_, which, to my disappointment, did not respect any of the redirect directives. I am,
in that sense, part of the loss.

There's one particular netcup host with a particular high request rate with an RSS to Telegram Bot. If you read this,
please reduce the number of requests, before I do it for you 😜
