So now their name server is on Cloudflare which is run by Matthew Prince. Wonder if he is related to Eric Price of Blackwater fame who is the Brother of Betsy Devos. :mad:

CloudFlare also protects ISIS chat sites, turns over contact data to site about people who complain about their content and are generally the favourite of extremist groups so I guess it's only appropriate they cover this group.

Cloudflare does not host content-

They have a new hosting service, anyway-

I figure they wouldn't have that w/o Putin's approval.

Either way what they are saying is horrid and if you read the rest of the site it just gets worse.

That filth has existed in some organized fashion since at least 2009. I really do blame the rise of socials for letting such things coalesce from the ooze that they are.

and now its being hosted by a Russian company, draw your own conclusions

http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/16/technology/business/daily-stormer-russia-domain/index.html

The original website, Dailystormer.com, was still offline on Wednesday afternoon. But the site could be accessed at Dailystormer.ru after the domain was registered with the Russian Network Information Center, or RU-CENTER.

Russia's largest domain name registrar confirmed it had registered the site.

"I should point out that registry is automatic, so RU-CENTER registers thousands of domains per day," spokesperson Egor Timofeev said in a statement emailed to CNNMoney.

Cloudflare didn't host them, but only provided DDOS protection. That's now been revoked, so they are fair game. Unless and until they get a new (read: Russian) DDOS protector, they are probably doomed to be continually attacked by automated refrigerators and smart switches. The Internet Of Things is attacking, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of folks.

Today's lesson is that if you are revolting human trash, you probably shouldn't draw a lot of attention to yourselves.

Ok ok! for the second time, technically I didn't say they hosted their site, I said their name, I just thought they hosted their name, I'll admit I am not a super nerd when comes to all this DDOS DNS etc stuff. Damn you smart nerds! Now get off my lawn!

Heh...sounds like the Russian government didn't like having the Nazi's on servers in their country.

Freakin' hilarious. When one is too heinous for even Putin's Russia, one should really re-examine one's outlook on life.

I've never visited the Daily Stormer, but based on what I've read, this site really should have been relegated to the dark web long ago. I support their free speech rights, but I fail to see why anyone would take money to make their speech more accessible to the public.

Canadian? It's actually a Seattle company.

https://www.geekwire.com/2017/seatt...ting-pro-nazi-site-daily-stormer-web-attacks/

and this is their site

https://bitmitigate.com/index.html

And they aren't hosting, they are like Cloudflare and protect against ddos attacks. I don't think anyone actually knows where the site is being hosted right now.

Oops...my bad. I saw "CDN," and thought "Canadian." :oops:

I'm sure, once the "green hair" hippie scum in Seattle find this out, they'll be marching in the streets, breaking windows in businesses that have nothing to do with this, just to express their outrage.
