Yugster was not shut down. New owners bought it in May 2018 and relaunched it as UntilGone.com that August, after nearly 15 years of trading. The old address simply stopped answering.
Yugster is gone as an address, not as a business. Type yugster.com today and nothing loads at all. We checked again on 14 August 2026, and the domain still returns no response — but the company behind it never closed. It was bought and renamed.
That distinction matters if you came here looking for the daily deal you used to check. The deals did not stop. The sign on the door changed.
Follow it to the new site if you’re…
- After the same one-deal-at-a-time format, since UntilGone is the direct continuation of it
- Chasing an old Yugster order, account or return, which only the new owners can answer
- Happy browsing one storefront rather than comparing the same item across retailers
Look somewhere else if you’re…
- Trying to compare one product across several stores before you buy
- Only interested when a discount is genuinely worth taking, not simply because one is posted today
- Hunting a coupon code for a big-name retailer, which is a different kind of site entirely
Where Yugster actually went
New owners acquired Yugster in May 2018 and announced the switch to UntilGone.com on 30 August 2018. By the company’s own account the site had been running for nearly 15 years at that point, which makes it one of the longer-lived daily deal sites of that era.
UntilGone.com still loads today. So the honest answer to “what happened to Yugster” is a rename under new ownership, not a closure. If you are chasing an old order or account, that is where to ask — we cannot see inside anyone’s account and will not guess on your behalf.
Why the old links all dead-end
A rebrand normally keeps the old domain pointing at the new one for a while. Yugster’s does not resolve at all, so old bookmarks, forum posts and coupon-site listings stop dead instead of forwarding you.
That is also why searching the old name still surfaces pages describing a site you cannot reach. The write-ups outlived the address, which is a good reminder that a dead domain tells you a domain is dead and nothing more about the company.
If it was the daily-deal habit you wanted
UntilGone is the direct continuation, so start there. Gazoobie is a different shape of thing and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise: we are not one-deal-a-day. Our AI reads thousands of live offers and surfaces only the ones worth buying, each labelled with the kind of shopper it actually suits.
What we will not do is tell you a discount is a genuine saving off an item’s usual price until our own price record is long enough to prove it. That record began on 7 August 2026, so today it is honest but shallow, and we would rather say that plainly than dress it up.

Did Yugster go out of business?
No. It was acquired in May 2018 and relaunched as UntilGone.com on 30 August 2018. The yugster.com domain no longer resolves, which is why it looks closed from the outside.
Is UntilGone.com the same company as Yugster?
It is the same business under new ownership and a new name, according to the company’s own announcement of the change. Whether the range and the pricing still feel the same to a returning shopper is a judgement we have not measured, so we are not going to claim it either way.
Why does yugster.com not redirect to UntilGone.com?
We do not know. The domain returns no response at all rather than forwarding visitors on, and only the owners can say why. We would rather leave that unanswered than invent a reason.
