 <http://go.techtarget.com/r/4891444/6281613> ICANN terminates hosting
provider EstDomains

  <http://media.techtarget.com/searchSecurity/images/spacer.gif> 
ICANN, the organization that controls the top-level domains, has pulled the
accreditation of EstDomains, a hosting provider that has been under fire for

move on ICANN's part, one that may signal a new willingness to play a bit of
hardball with hosting providers who don't police themselves. 

Antispam activists and security experts for months have been telling anyone

hosting provider that is now out of business, but had been listed as one of
the more active hosters of spam and malware operations.
