Interesting, so that's the expected parking page for such a situation?
I have no idea how web hosting works in SK and was going off this article, my interpretation was that this was changed after the traffic warning hence why I assumed malice:
While the company’s website previously displayed a message that it has been blocked due to excessive traffic, it has now been shut down altogether as of Thursday with a message saying that it is “under construction."
Is the Safari translation of https://imweb.me/price correct in saying unlimited traffic is 24,000 won ($18 USD) per month?
If so, I'll add back that a private company that has discovered a room-temperature superconductor but is skimping out on $18/mo for web hosting does not inspire confidence.
2. https://web.archive.org/web/20230802204310/https://qcentre.c... when it hit the quota. The title and texts roughly translate to: "The access was denied due to the excessive traffic" and "The website you've visited reached the agreed daily traffic limit and thus is automatically made unavailable now. You can connect again when the limit resets on 10 AM [UTC+9]. Please upgrade the version if the traffic repeatedly hits its quota."
All three pages are probably from imweb's own solutions, given its assets and links. So there is no dedicated server or virtual machine instance, everything is on whim of the provider.

Yes, but you need to read the asterisk: "But atypically large number of connections or DDoS attacks may be limited for the optimal operation of system." It is very frequent that this unstated "limit" is much lower than expected for Korean hosting providers.
Got it. Apologies if it came across like I was questioning you, I'm just trying to understand the only part of this I potentially can (not the physics) and I'm clearly ignorant of how hosting works with SK providers.
I couldn't tell from the Korea JoongAng Daily and Bloomberg articles if this was implying deceitful behavior.

I guess that's one less red flag.
