The situation with the Web site RateMyCop was absolutely NOT about censorship in ANY way.
The site’s operator has publicly disclosed the concerns were over bandwidth. More accurately, Go Daddy’s concerns were about how the RateMyCop site was far exceeding the amount of server usage for which it had contracted.
This customer paid for a shared server plan. The connections to his site were six times more than an entire ‘shared server’ accommodates. While he was paying for a service that cost $14.99 a month, his site actually required a much more extensive set-up.
While the “censorship” allegations certainly make for an edgy “story,” they simply had nothing to do with this situation.
Thank you for your prompt response to my concerns.
sure the same is true of all of your customers.
down a domain when legally compelled to do so?
We’ll see if they respond. On the up side, at least they’ve now learned that if they do ever do anything like this, there will be hell to pay.
