(CNN)The Daily Stormer, a white supremacist and neo-Nazi website, needs to find another domain name provider after GoDaddy gave it the boot following a derogatory story about the woman killed at the Charlottesville, Virginia, rally.
The site, which calls itself "The World's Most Genocidal Republican Website," registered its name with GoDaddy -- but GoDaddy doesn't host the Daily Stormer's content.

(Guardian)A message purportedly posted by hackers has appeared on the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website, saying the site has been taken over in response to an article criticising a woman who died during violence at far-right rally in Virginia over the weekend.

What I'm curious about is Google. Are they providing hosting and domain serving for anybody (even unpopular speech)? Where does content go when companies refuse to work with publishers?

Google has replaced GoDaddy as the registrar. Afaict, the domain continues to be hosted by/through CloudFlare, as it has been for several years.
The "hack" is fake.

Tbh, I doubt Google knows they're the Stormers' registrar yet; you can transfer domains automatically.
CloudFlare doesn't provide hosting, it's a reverse proxy. But, if you believe http://www.crimeflare.com/cfs.html, the actual web server sitting behind dailystormer.com is hosted by online.net, of France.

Right. I use CF. I just meant that there has been criticism aimed at CF for 'protecting' (providing service to) unpopular speech (even harmful stuff like IS), and I think I read they were unwilling to refuse service to anybody.
France, hey? I've actually heard France is competitive with US when it comes to internet and free speech. Do you think that's true? I wonder which country most protects speech on the internet?

Not really. I don't care for what they say, but it's important that they have the ability to say it. It's concerning that private companies, through registrars have the ability to erase viewpoints from the public internet. More signs that the internet be treated as a right.
I liken the internet to press. Most of it sucks, but having it and being able to freely speak through it, is essential to liberty.
I mean, if we as a society don't believe people like this should have a free internet like everyone else, we deserve the closed internet we will get. Freedom sucks because you have to listen to a lot of assholes, but it's much better than the alternative.
