GoDaddy Attacks Torrent Sites

GoDaddy (domain registrar) started to ban Bittorrent sites. The first site they banned is Mybitorrent. The next step could be mininova, isohunt or torrentspy. These three belong to the biggest (torrent) site on the web and are all registered with GoDaddy. I just switched from godaddy for hosting to These Guys (BlueHost) I found out about them from my WOW guild (thedungeonmasters.com) and they rock. Its like 6 domains for less than ten bucks or something (i cant remember cause i paid for 2 years at once). They have too like 250GB transfer and 10GB space.. more than i could use.. and 2500 POP EMAIL, the best web host company i know of. I used to be a godaddy only guy (back when they weren't big and network solutions lost the monopoly). I still use them for registration, but i stoped hosting a few months ago. (although the new free hosting with purchase stuff on Diggnation they were talking about has got me interested again.. ) Oh, and the other deal i found recently is this 20 free prints which after shipping costs $2.06, not free but cheaper than sam's club or elsewhere (like 10 cents rather than 14) and you don't have to wait an hour. Just select them and in a few days they are at your door. If you like me you wouldn't be able to find the time to burn a disk and head out to sam's club to do it in that amount of time and this is no effort.
