GoDaddy bans neo-Nazi site after cretinous Charlottesville article

The US neo-Nazi site the Daily Stormer has 24 hours to find another internet provider after it published a disparaging article about woman who was killed during protests in Charlottesville.

32 year old Heather Heyer died after a car ran into a crowd of peaceful protesters, demonstrating against a white supremacist rally.

Some Twitter users, including women's rights campaigner Amy Siskind, called on the web hosting company GoDaddy, which houses the Daily Stormer, to remove the site.

GoDaddy replied on Twitter saying the neo-Nazi site had violated its terms of service: "We informed the Daily Stormer that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service."

Following the announcement, a note popped up on the Daily Stormer claiming the site had been hacked by Anonymous. However, the hacking group's main Twitter account said it could not confirm this:

GoDaddy spokesman Dan Race confirmed the company's decision to kick out the Daily Stormer. In an emailed quote to Mashable, Race wrote:

"We have informed The Daily Stormer that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service. If no action is taken after 24 hours, we will cancel the service."

"Given their latest article comes on the immediate heels of a violent act, we believe this type of article could incite additional violence, which violates our terms of service," he added.

GoDaddy has been under fire for months for its perceived failure to take down DailyStormer.com, a website that has published articles that could be characterized as racist or anti-Semitic.
