WikiLeaks.org domain name "killed" by domain hosting service

WikiLeaks.org has been "killed" by Dynamic Network Services' subsidiary,EveryDNS.net .Its DNS provider notified WikiLeaks.org by email and Twitter that they will terminate its domain name services within 24 hours.

EveryDNS provided WikiLeaks.org DNS services until December 2,2010 at 10 PM .
"More specifically, the services were terminated for violation of the provision which states that "Member shall not interfere with another Member's use and enjoyment of the Service or another entity's use and enjoyment of similar services." The interference at issues arises from the fact that wikileaks.org has become the target of multiple distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks. These attacks have, and future attacks would, threaten the stability of the EveryDNS.net infrastructure, which enables access to almost 500,000 other websites.",says EveryDNS.
"Any downtime of the wikileaks.org website has resulted from its failure to use another hosted DNS service provider.",added WikiLeaks' DNS provider.
In response,WikiLeaks put a note on Twitter : "WikiLeaks,org domain killed by US everydns.net after claimed mass attacks KEEP US STRONG ."Moreover,they also posted a link for supporters to help them with donations.
