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

ICANN, the organization that controls the top-level domains, has pulled the
accreditation of EstDomains, a hosting provider that has been under fire for

spammers, malware authors and other undesirables. This is a major and rare
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
who would listen that EstDomains was closely linked to Intercage/Atrivo, a
hosting provider that is now out of business, but had been listed as one of
the more active hosters of spam and malware operations.
