Wikileaks fights to stay online after US company withdraws domain name

In today's Guardian, it was reported that the California-based Internet hosting provider, Everydns, dropped Wikileaks at 3am GMT on Friday (10pm EST Thursday).  It says it did so to prevent its other 500,000 customers of being affected by the intense cyber attacks targeted at WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks and the cache of secret diplomatic documents that have proved to be a scourge for governments around the world were only accessible through a string of digits known as a DNS address. The site later re-emerged with a Swiss domain, WikiLeaks.ch.
