"After being effectively booted off the Web by its U.S. domain name system (DNS) provider, the whistleblower website WikiLeaks has managed to reemerge on the Swiss domain, where it continues to publish classified cables detailing the activities of U.S. diplomats around the world.

"EveryDNS.net, a group providing free domain name services, terminated WikiLeaks' service followed what it described as a severe distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.

"On Monday, EveryDNS.net informed WikiLeaks that it would terminate its service in 24 hours owing to the attack, which it claimed violated its usage agreement for disrupting other domains that use the service."
