Godaddy attacks Torrent sites

UPDATE: Thanks to all our (m-ook) readers and the readers on Digg and other blogs (TorrentFreak) for your support!

A rep from GoDaddy has Called and “cleared up the misunderstanding” they Will restart the DNS services for MyBitTorrent.com and allow MyBitTorrent to freely transfer to another registry of their choice. Again the power of Blogging has prevailed! *** Godaddy did the right thing!

M-ook writes that Godaddy (domain registrar) started to ban BitTorrent sites. With more than 1000 registered torrent sites, godaddy is a big player in the domain market. The first site they banned is MyBitTorrent (the suspension letter), they are even holding the domain in question.

MyBitTorrent can be reclaimed by paying 50$ as the suspension letter states

If you wish to transfer your domain name to another registrar, we first require that you pay a $50 administration fee before your domain name can be transferred.

The next step could be mininova, isohunt or torrentspy. These three belong to the biggest (torrent) site on the web and are all registered with godaddy.

Will this be the new “war on BitTorrent”?

    GoDaddy.com and their sister company BlueRazor.com have just lost my business, I will begin transfering all 300 of my domain names to another company.

  • http://myspacesucks.com me

    Wow, SECRET, 300 domains? sounds utterly useless. Unless you’re using them to sell domains to other people… what the hell are you doing with 300 domains registered?

    Thats retarded.

    but yeah, godaddy needs to die.

    The more people boycott there service the better – Whatever the big-wigs try to do Torrents will allways find a way to fight back!

    just spread the word, there are many other registrars out there providing the same service for the same price, i look forward to the day we hear they are in receivership.

    I am a customer of godaddy i make websites with domain names included where i register a domain for 10 year intervals and i have over 5,000 domains from them. this is insane doing what they did. im just going to change all 5k urls to a different registrar. goodbye godaddy.

    try yahoo they are great.

    This is pure stupidity on their part. I believe in giving people and companies a second chance, so I’m keeping a close eye on them to see if they f**ck up again before I move my dozen or so domain names to another registrar.

    Besides, it’s also high time I get a second static IP on another class C network, and set up a pair of DNS servers… GoDaddy is really dropping the ball by not allowing wildcard entries on their web-based DNS tool.

    What I think for groups like torrent spy mininova, isohunt when that day comes you find out when your in trouble find the person who did it then wright there name and report them to a complanit line because you have right to share information and other things, and as we all know out there we do not have the right to commite parice but a right to share, one more thing I think we should all come together and make are own sites big ones to, so If they try and stop us it well be harder to do.

    I can give a good example of one site who is having that problem right now and here it is this opplies to the bittorrent site so if your out there please read this message okay here it is

    Demonoid.com

    and the group who is causeing this problem, there name of the organzation is called:

    Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA)

    So now you have to figure out the persons name who is doing the investagation inside the company then you will have to find the person who sold you out that’s all I can say about the company who’s causeing them problems any ways

    peace out and have a good night.

    However, so far not been able to find out who was the person with whom started a worldwide AIDS epidemic.The team of scientists from the University of Tucson (Arizona, USA) studied blood samples of 117 HIV-positive and amounted to “a detailed tree” strain of HIV-1 group M subtype B, which mainly suffering population of developed countries. It appeared that the human immunodeficiency virus strain was first brought to Haiti in 1969, the most likely one person, scientists claim. Information on the territorial origin of the virus would help in treating AIDS.Scientists are continuing their studies, and has already managed to establish that the virus directly in Haiti came from Congo (Africa) at approximately 1966. That year they worked Haitian workers.Recall that earlier researchers from the University of Texas concluded that when choosing a partner woman primarily takes into account four main factors: a good set of genes, the level of financial wealth, parental quality.

    Psychologists from the University of Sydney, after a series of studies, concluded that the heaviest day of the week is Wednesday. It is Wednesday, people feel that until the weekend is far, and at the same time on that day accounted for the largest number of cases at work. Widespread belief that the heaviest day of the week is Monday, especially Monday morning, according to Australian psychologists, wrong.
    Researchers initially interviewed 200 people about what kind of day they feel most unpleasant. Most named Monday.

    How much nor talk about treason, and all the little. It seems as there are men and women, the topic never exhausted until the end. Ironically struggled with this scourge of mankind: even in relatively mild (in this sense) from pagan times treasonmen been quite tough, adultery and remains favourite sin of mankind.
    It is painful treason, recently more and more often people refer to it as an inevitable evil.

    Is there a friendship between a man and a woman? I think every asked myself this question. I was confident that exists. After all, I had you, the loyal and reliable friend. And despite the fact that you saw only once, daily telephone conversations, we replaced the meeting. We knew each other absolutely everything, can talk for hours on various topics, often flirtovali and sometimes in your words heard notes jealousy.And even our second halves could not forbid us to communicate. You say that this is fate and our acquaintance on the phone was not accidental. You lived in a nearby town, and several months after dating, we did decide to meet. Brodie all night through the city, chat, kiss. I do not know why we have not decided on any relationship. We just thought that we better stay friends, and almost two years, this was indeed the case.
