No GoDaddy in China?

Filed in archive Internet on August 27, 2008

The Inquisitr ran a post yesterday saying that domain registrar GoDaddy is being blocked in China.

According to the Inquisitr's source, GoDaddy started being blocked during the beijing olympic games. Part of the problem, evidently, was people registering domain names based on the names of China's Olympic gold medalists.
The Chinese government had banned anyone but the nation's Olympic gold medalists from registering domains based on the athletes' names within the ".cn" suffix. It even "advised" anyone who already owned such a domain to turn it over to the medalist "as a gift."
The official word from GoDaddy on the issue is "No comment."
