GoDaddy Hosting Drops “RateMyCop.com” Due to Controversy

GoDaddy, an Internet hosting provider that's no stranger to controversy of its own, has pulled hosting of RateMyCop.

RateMyCop founder Gino Sesto says he was given no notice of the suspension. When he called GoDaddy, the company told him that he'd been shut down for "suspicious activity."

When Sesto got a supervisor on the phone, the company changed its story and claimed the site had surpassed its 3 terabyte bandwidth limit, a claim that Sesto says is nonsense. "How can it be overloaded when it only had 80,00 page views today, and 400,000 yesterday?"

I wouldn't touch GoDaddy hosting with a ten foot pole. If you're hosted with them, find someone else. Now.
