8ch.net moves to Epik. Here’s Rob Monster’s response.

8Chan, a website again in the spotlight after the shooting in El Paso this weekend, has switched registrars. It already got booted off of its DDoS provider CloudFlare. Now, perhaps to avoid any pressure from its domain registrar, it moved to Epik for registration services. Epik also offers DDoS.

Epik has accepted domains that other registrars have kicked out, including Gab.com.

The registrar’s CEO Rob Monster said that it did not solicit 8chan’s business and is evaluating whether to offer it DDoS mitigation. Here’s Monster’s full statement about 8ch.net moving to the registrar.
