All that is necessary is that customerRichard, On the other hand , I'm not comfortable with the idea that an organization that provides network infrastructure services under the aegis of the US Government could unilaterally revoke those services for something that is not illegal. who purchased the service beware and agree to the policies prior to making the purchase (of course, almost nobody fully reads that long agreement you get presented on the website, but that's another story...) Not being somebody who've ever used godaddy's services, I'm just speculating based on various reports, but I think their registration service agreement is more extensive then domain registration agreement from most other registrars and prohibits use of the domain in connection with spamming as well as in connection with illegal activities. If policies are violated then domain maybe suspended until problem is resolved. I suspect they don't suspend right away and have system of requiring domain owner be available for notification and conversation in case such use (prohibited by their service agreement) is reported. If they do not hear anything about it and reports continue then they take action as allowed by domain registration agreement. What we probably saw is such action after nectartech failed to respond to several notifications and probably kept server running without fully cleaning it up and possibly more then one of their servers was hacked too. This is similar enough situation to what may happen when you run servers on the connection purchased from your ISP and that ISP actually takes abuse reports seriously and has working abuse department that follows up on what is sent them. That this was spinned around as datacenter shutdown on WHT and even got here is a result of both how nectartech wanted itself seen and who they had for dealing with such vendor actions. I disagree with this particular part.
