Neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer kicked off second web host in less than 24 hours
Neo-Nazi site The Daily Stormer has been cut off by its domain hosting service again after being forced to move from GoDaddy to Google.
The white supremacist news site and forum was unceremoniously told to find a new web hosting service after publishing a post calling Charlottesville victim Heather Heyer a 'fat, childless slut'.
It also called the anti-racist activist a 'drain on society' and said 'most people are glad she's dead'.
After being sent the disturbing, offensive article on Twitter, GoDaddy told the hate site it had 24 hours to find a new hosting firm because it had violated its terms and conditions.
Shortly before 8am California time today, the Daily Stormer registered a new domain with Alphabet Inc's Google Domains, which offers transfers through an automated online process that takes just 20 minutes.

'We don't want our services to incite violence,' an insider at Google said.
It's not 100% clear if the revocation has taken effect, but if you try and visit the Daily Stormer website, you are currently presented with this error message.

'This is just surreal,' one forum user, who describes himself as a 'psychopathic anime Nazi', complained.
'The whole day has been a fucking nightmare.'

Since the horrific attack in Charlottesville, Twitter users have been using the internet to name and shame white supremacists and get them sacked from their jobs.
And a tragically poignant US government video from 1947, which warns against the gradual rise of Nazism, has gone viral.
