How to transfer your domain name between hosts

SOPA would let the Justice Department obtain court orders requiring Internet service providers to filter out specific domain names and require search engines to block websites that are accused of infringing copyright. It’s been a source of heated debate lately, with security, privacy, and technology experts arguing that the law would cripple the Internet; copyright holders believe that the bill authorizes new and superior ways to suppress sites that are alleged to spread pirated works. The bill has stalled for the moment , as significant public, think-tank, and corporate opposition emerged late in the process.
So why is GoDaddy taking so much flak for its SOPA support? Because the firm has done a lot of business as an inexpensive source for domain registration and Web hosting. (An incident earlier this year, in which GoDaddy's president posted a video of himself killing an elephant in Africa , probably hasn’t helped the company’s public image either.)
As this article was being prepared for publication, The Verge reported that GoDaddy was withdrawing its SOPA support in the face of public criticism. “Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation—but we can clearly do better,” CEO Warren Adelman said in a statement released by GoDaddy. “It’s very important that all Internet stakeholders work together on this. Getting it right is worth the wait. Go Daddy will support it when and if the Internet community supports it.”
