"I should point out that registry is automatic, so RU-CENTER registers thousands of domains per day," Egor Timofeev, a spokesman for the service, told CNN.

Timofeev told CNN that the site was kicked off following a request from Roskomnadzor, Russia's technology and telecommunications regulator.

The site had been accessible through the dailystormer.ru, and a cached version of the site can still be seen through that link.

GoDaddy had shut down the site earlier this week after it had published an article disparaging Heather Heyer, the woman who was killed in Charlotteville on Saturday after, police say, a man linked to white nationalist groups plowed his car into counterprotesters.
