How will the removal of .io websites impact PaperMC?

Hi,
If you didn't know, .io domains will cease to exist in the future. You can find more on that and why here.
How will this impact PaperMC in the future and what will the new domain be in the future?
This is also a kind of heads up for people who didn't know this.

Anyways, have a great rest of your day!

We are aware of that post. There has been no public report by IANA yet, so we don't know if and what will change. Removal of existing domains is pure speculation, there is no real precedent.
Paper owns additional domains that could be used, for example PaperMC.dev which we use for staging purposes right now, but we don't have anything to announce at this time since we haven't made any plans since there isn't any problem right now. If IANA really makes the (dumb) decision to remove existing domains, we will have years to think about how we want to adapt.
