Neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer resurfaces with Russian domain following Google and GoDaddy bans

The notorious site bounced around various domains and the dark web before landing on a .ru domain.

Thus, heading into Tuesday, the site — founded by prominent neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin in 2013 — was essentially bouncing around looking for places to land. It briefly attempted to gain hosting through a Chinese service provider at the URL DailyStormer.wang, only to quickly be taken offline.

Next, the site attempted to set up shop on the dark web, using a .onion domain. Websites on the dark web are hidden from search engines and can only be accessed by special browsers such as a Tor browser. But the site’s move underground didn’t last long. Currently its home on the dark web is a parked announcement that it has relocated to DailyStormer.Ru:

The .ru domain in the URL isn’t exactly proof that the website is now hosted in Russia, because anyone can register a .ru domain. A Whois lookup for the .ru site reveals that the controversial hosting proxy CloudFlare, which has refused to terminate its business relationship with the neo-Nazi forum, continues to mask the identity of the site’s true server host.

On the website, Anglin celebrated the site’s return with a litany of anti-Semitism and criticism of GoDaddy and Google, calling the latter an anti-speech site. He also took the opportunity to deliver more insults against Heyer, whose memorial is today.

1. Well, WHAT a shocker.

I just wonder if search engines will manage to ban them. My guess is yes.

They lost a major recruiting tool.

5. Very hard to keep a website down

Pirate Bay should be a glowing example of how hard it is to keep a domain down.

13. Yes, but people don't hate pirates, they do hate Nazis.

[Egnever]

14. True but the people who do hate pirates

Have a crap ton of lawyers and money to spend taking them down.

[Ninsianna]

15. The people who hate Nazis aren't exactly without numbers or resources.

6. I only wonder what took so long...

It's only too easy. Once something is on the net it never leaves whether you want it to or not and reestablishing a site takes minutes. You have to actually take out the primary server to cause a dent.

All week, the infamous hate site Daily Stormer has been battling to stay online in the face of a concerted social media campaign to shut it down. The site lost its "dailystormer.com" domain on Monday after first GoDaddy and then Google Domains blacklisted it from their domain registration services


The site re-appeared online on Wednesday morning at a new domain name, dailystormer.ru. But within hours, the site had gone offline again after it was dropped by Cloudflare, an intermediary that defends customers against denial-of-service attacks.

Nah...that would require reflection and the undead cast no reflections!
