Wikileaks.org comes back online

As of 4:23a.m. wikileaks.org comes back online, according to the  pingdom monitoring system.

Access was returned after members worked with different DNS providers to help get the domains back online. Currently the domain points to a Wikileaks mirror page (http://mirror.wikileaks.info/), listing all of the leaked documents it originally posted.

Wikileaks’ recent domain hassel were prompted by EveryDNS, a DNS provider for the website at the time which pulled its services from the site, making Wikileaks accessible by its server IP address.

This prompted Wikileaks to move to Switzerland, and acquire the Wkileaks.ch domain name.

Access to Wikileaks.org comes after a series of events lead Wikileaks supporters to hate against EveryDNS, but after a confusing turn of events EasyDNS was confused into the mix getting some hate as well because of the mixup between EasyDNAS and EveryDNS. After facing some serious heat, EasyDNS was contacted directly by Wikileaks, asking them to provide DNS services for three domains; wikileaks.org, wikileaks.ch and wikileaks.nl should the other domains get revoked.

With the horrific domain disaster Wikileaks has asked for its supporters host their own copies of the website, providing access to documents if the Wikileaks website becomes unavailable. Current stats show there are 1885 mirrors of the website.
