The website associated with ultra-right-wing, helped organize protests in Virginia, which became a hotbed of violence and ended with the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer. Recall that during the riots, the car crashed into the crowd of protesters. It is reported that it was driven by a white driver with nationalist views.In stories published by The Daily Stormer, Andrew Angelin, described the hair as «greasy» and «childless» woman who was «dregs of society».

The owners of The Daily Stormer tried to move the site to domain Google Inc., owned by Google. Google Inc. offers data transfer via an automated online process which, according to Internet companies, takes about 20 minutes. Domain was registered in Google a little before 11 am, and at 13:56, the company announced the intention to withdraw permission to register, but it is unclear when exactly is she planning to close the controversial site.

GoDaddy, the world’s largest company offering Internet domains, has been criticized for posting a web site dedicated to the dissemination of anti-Semitism, neo-Nazism and white nationalism.

We informed The Daily Stormer that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service.
