Curtains finaly Come down on Wikileaks ,EveryDNS.net drops Wiki leaks

Finally it has happened the Long awaited reaction to the Wikileaks Circus The million Dollar question remains, Why Now? was it pressure from Powers that be , or Corporate Social responsibility. actually from where I'm standing its been long over due and the media gave it alot of Publicity and hype. Had the Whistle blower been in China , Russia or Korea he/she would have discovered by now whether there is life after death, and accessing the site would be a miracle On their website EveryDNS.net Categorically stated (http://www.everydns.com) that; EveryDNS.net provided domain name system (DNS) services to the wikileaks.org domain name until 10PM EST, December 2, 2010, when such services were terminated. As with other users of the EveryDNS.net network, this service was provided for free. The termination of services was effected pursuant to, and in accordance with, the EveryDNS.net Acceptable Use Policy. See more. More specifically, the services were terminated for violation of the provision which states that "Member shall not interfere with another Member's use and enjoyment of the Service or another entity's use and enjoyment of similar services." The interference at issues arises from the fact that wikileaks.org has become the target of multiple distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks. These attacks have, and future attacks would, threaten the stability of the EveryDNS.net infrastructure, which enables access to almost 500,000 other websites. Thus, last night, at approximately 10PM EST, December 1, 2010 a 24 hour termination notification email was sent to the email address associated with the wikileaks.org account. In addition to this email, notices were sent to Wikileaks via Twitter and the chat function available through the wikileaks.org website. Any downtime of the wikileaks.org website has resulted from its failure to use another hosted DNS service provider.
