It depends what you're hosting. bodog.com is a legal Canadian-owned online gambling website. But since online gambling isn't legal in the United States they had their domain seized: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/bodog-gambling-site-shut-down-canadian-owner-indicted-1.1159011 https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/bodog-gambling-site-shut-down-...
It looks like after going through the courts they have had their domain returned.
- CydeWeys 7y agoThat's a bit of a different situation though. They were illegally running a gambling operation in the United States at a time when that wasn't legal, and they lost a lengthy court case to that effect. The domain seizure was incidental. Contrast with the situation in the linked post, in which a .in domain was randomly seized without warning, and crucially, without due process. Bodog had the benefit of due process.
