Also for the record, it was specifically the domain registrar (though it could be both).
There are companies that could "rescue" the domain name and there are hosts who are more interested in the money than they are "sensitive feelings" - because really,
I agree, the internet is in serious danger of being censored from all angles; it was bad enough when it was just hosting companies restricting free speech. Now we have domain name registrars restricting free speech as well (yea I am talking about stormfront) Down side is it's already too late.
At some point you lefty fools are going to be burned, your going to say something off the cuff (and I've been here long enough to see some of the horrid things you folks say) and boom you'll be shut down, your favorite site will be removed, your social media posts edited or deleted, accounts closed, etc. You don't care now because you think the censors are on "your side," but what's "okay" and "censorable" will change over time, it always does. Laugh it up while it's still funny to you because once it starts going away, it's going to disappear really fast and before you know it we might as well live in North Korea or Russia where there is no freedom of speech on the internet and only "approved" information is allowed out for public consumption.
You can already see the devastating effects this kind of shit has; stop visiting any other information site on the web, get all your news from the MSM and then come back here to this site (which actually does pretty good at giving news from all fronts) and realize what you've missed. I get that you want to hate President Trump, so all the MSM's bullshit with him is "okay" in your book because it feeds your dislike of him, but at some point you folks will open your eyes and realize that letting the media pick your president for you isn't very smart at all - and yes, that is exactly what is going on, and why we suddenly have a rash of right side view points being scoured from the internet (because President Trump proved without a doubt that the internet could get around the media's stranglehold on public opinion.)
I feel damned sorry for you "wool blinded" sheep who cannot see the slaughterhouse on the other side of the pasture. On the other hand, you won't even know whats happening until it's too late and you find your muzzles taped up so you can't complain about it being your turn. ~shrug~
I saw it coming with like.. GoDaddy and web.com mass-purchasing domain names.
I'm sure there's still some tool out there where you could plug in a bunch of variables to get something remotely similar to what you're looking for.
Do I like the way Stormfront got shut down? No.
Could it have been prevented by them hosting their own site? Yes.
Quite certain this site is hosted in an identical fashion to the way Stormfront was.
"Could it have been prevented by them hosting their own site? Yes."
NO. They took the domain name, not the hosting that's a minor issue frankly; however the guy running stormfront had both hosting and his domain through NS.
Hosting you can do on your own computer anytime you want FYI. The domain name though has to be rigged up with the rest of the web - a function that the US used to monitor and hold to US standards - kind of like how they dealt with telephone numbers belonging to the person and being transferable, but Obama gave the domain handling up in 2015 - global public outrage had delayed it until March 2017, but it couldn't be delayed again so now it's gone to whomever the hell buys the registrar companies.
Ooo, that has changed, and not for the better.
