WIKILEAKS has been taken offline after its domain host EveryDNS.net terminated the whistleblower website's account.
"WikiLeaks.org domain killed by US everydns.net after claimed mass attacks," WikiLeaks tweeted, after its website went offline for the third time in a week.
EveryDNS.net said in a statement on its website it had terminated services to WikiLeaks, which it had hosted for four years.
"EveryDNS.net provided domain name system (DNS) services to the wikileaks.org domain name until 10pm EST, December 2, 2010, when such services were terminated."
It did not give any reasons for the termination, which comes amid massive controversy for WikiLeaks. On Sunday it began releasing 250,000 US diplomatic cables in its biggest leak so far, angering leaders across the globe.
WikiLeaks will now need to register wikileaks.org - which it owns until 2018 - with another domain host in order to get its site up and running again.
The outage came after Amazon.com Inc. announced yesterday it would no longer host WikiLeaks from its web servers because the site violated its terms of service.
The latest development comes the law closes in on Julian Assange.
Swedish authorities won a court ruling yesterday in their bid to arrest the WikiLeaks founder for questioning in a rape case, British intelligence is said to know where in England he's hiding, and US pundits and politicians are demanding he be hunted down or worse.
Sweden's Supreme Court upheld an order to detain him - a move that could lead to his extradition.
Earlier, posts on WikiLeaks' website detailed a host of embarrassing disclosures, including allegations that Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi accepted kickbacks and a deeply unflattering assessment of Turkmenistan's president.
Assange is accused in Sweden of rape, sexual molestation and coercion in a case from August, and Swedish officials have alerted Interpol and issued a European arrest warrant to bring him in for questioning.
The 39-year-old Australian denies the charges, which his lawyer, Mark Stephens, said apparently stemmed from a "dispute over consensual but unprotected sex". Mr Stephens said the case is turning into an exercise in persecution.
While Assange has not made a public appearance for nearly a month, his lawyer insisted authorities know where to find him.
"Both the British and the Swedish authorities know how to contact him, and the security services know exactly where he is," Mr Stephens said.
It was unclear if or when police would act on Sweden's demands. Police there acknowledged yesterday they would have to refile their European arrest warrant after British authorities asked for more details on the maximum penalties for the three crimes.
Scotland Yard declined comment, as did the Serious and Organised Crime Agency, responsible for processing European arrest warrants for suspects in England, where The Guardian claims Assange is hiding out.

The world’s oldest known mother of triplets is a woman who lives in Haryana, India, and is 66 years of age.
Even more amazing is the fact that Bhateri Devi had been childless for 44 years of marriage and conceived via artificial insemination.
The two healthy boys and one girl were born this past May at Hisar’s National Fertility Center (NFC).
The babies are the just desserts of the woman’s bitterness against her farmer-turned property owner ex-husband, Deva Singh, who divorced her because she could not give him an heir and remarried two more times to no avail.
“The triplets are a happy coincidence. Bhateri had failed to conceive on two earlier attempts where two embryos were transferred to her womb each time. We made a third attempt with three embryos and were happily surprised when all three became implanted. This is the first documented instance where a 66-year-old woman has nurtured to full term and successfully given birth to three healthy babies,” according to Dr. Anurag Bishnoi of the NFC.
Although an amazing scientific achievement and a first concerning the birth of triplets, it is not a medical breakthrough.
Rajo Devi, a seventy-year-old woman, gave birth 18 months ago to a little girl named Naveen Lohan, with the help of The National Fertility Center, the same doctor and state-of-the-art in-vitro fertilization techniques.
Many childless couples have been granted the ability to conceive under the guidance of Dr. Bishnoi and the NFC.
“More than a hundred women over 50 years of age have successfully given birth at our center and this has been without a single case mortality of either the mother or the child,” Dr. Bishnoi said proudly.
Despite the shadows of problems that can and often do occur with aged parents dying before children are grown and other health issues, bringing a new life into the world is at all times a joyous and miraculous event.
Bhateri’s ex-husband is jubilant about her multiple-birth delivery of that which he so desperately desired at the cost of his wives’ happiness.
Surely somewhere unseen, Bhateri smiles at her victory; that is, if she can find the time in between changing diapers and heating up formula!
