What Happened to the now.sh Domain?


I know it still exists and every .now.sh is redirected to the equivalent.vercel.app domain, but why did Vercel stop promoting it? To me it is a great choice for an app hosting service, with a number of famous apps on it already, such as carbon.now.sh and others. It is certainly better than herokuapps com, no?

So what am I missing here? Has there been some public information about this discussion?

Thanks

Well from what I found, there is a blog post in June 2020

"All newly created Deployments now use vercel.app in place of the now.sh suffix – reflecting the new company name."

Probably because they started to enforce more the new Vercel's brand identity
