Google has canceled the domain registration for The Daily Stormer, a company spokesperson confirmed Monday.
......
Google didn't want its services used to incite violence, a source close to Google told Business Insider. Daily Stormer registered its domain with Google at 7:51 a.m. Pacific. Google canceled the registration at 11:02 a.m. Pacific, the source said.

Re: Google has also given them the boot!
Using a VPN to disguise my IP address, I just went to the DS home page, at 2200 GMT. It was still up. A WHOIS check shows Google is still its registrar. Maybe Google gave them 24 hours, too. If they keep shopping for registrars, they could stay up a long time. Too bad their actual hosting company is shielded.
Neo-Nazis are suckers. The guy who owns DS must have large bills, for Cloudflare and hosting, which seem largely covered by donations from the sheep. I assume he makes his living running the thing. Nice scam he's got going!

Re: Google has also given them the boot!
Several factors at play here. If the site is still at the same IP address then it will take a while for removal of DNS records to filter down, especially if the default TTL was set high, and it'll still appear to be there. If the hosting provider (as opposed to the domain registrar) pulls the plug then it doesn't matter who's providing the top-level DNS pointer, it's not going to find anything. At that point a long DNS TTL works against them because the system will keep giving the old, and now invalid, answer until it times out so their new site, wherever it is, won't get much traffic until it does.

The 'defacto' standard for DNS propgation is 48 hours. At least that's what I tell management around %employer%.
Secondly, all the people baying about free speech: go look at popehat's article regarding it, and the obigatory XKCD post (in one reply for your reading pleasure, even.)
