| Free tier | None: the domain no longer hosts the indexer. A request for https://simplynzbs.com/ answers a redirect to http://ww80.simplynzbs.com/?subid1=<uuid> - the shape of a lapsed domain on a parking service - and that host name no longer resolves on 2026-11-03. A review states the service is 'no longer operational as of 2024-2025'. The last published free tier was invite-gated. unit none; metered on none |
|---|
| Price | none stated |
|---|
| Limits | - request-rate 10 API hits and 5 NZB downloads per day (historical, invite-gated) source
|
|---|
| Binding | write-gated The service is gone, so the binding constraint is the one that killed it: no reachable write path at all. |
|---|
| Identity | email Was invite-only: 'weekly 50 users get 10 invites each' plus a paid bypass. Today no registration path answers. |
|---|
| Egress | none: every request is answered by a redirect to a parking host that does not respond |
|---|
| Per-object cap | not applicable: an NZB pointer file |
|---|
| Retention | last claimed 'up to 2,145 days retention' while operating; no longer served |
|---|
| Interface | rest Was Newznab-compatible ('The SimplyNZBs API is compatible with ...' in its own invite page). Today the host redirects to a parking subdomain and /api?t=caps is answered by the same non-API redirect. |
|---|
| Tooling | Nothing to configure: Prowlarr and NZBHydra2 cannot reach an indexer that does not answer. |
|---|
| Composes with | Nothing: removed from the stack. |
|---|
| Reliability | Dead: the name redirects to a parking host that no longer resolves; a rendered read of the domain through a pinned provider ends on a human-verification page that offers a software installer download. A client that still has it configured follows the redirect and gets no result, not an auth error. |
|---|
| Notes | The verdict changed while the record was being written: the first two probes returned a 504, which reads as 'down', and a later probe returned 200 on the first hop, which looked like 'up'. Reading the redirect target settled it - the 200 was a redirect to a parking service. A session that stopped at the first probe would have written a different and wrong reason. |
|---|
| Evidence note | reported The redirect to a parking subdomain was observed today, and that is strong evidence of a lapsed domain. The rung stays reported because the authoritative statement of death ('no longer operational as of 2024-2025') is third-party; the redirect alone does not date it. |
