As reported by Paul Mc Namara of Network World:
The Wikimedia Foundation, making good on a Dec. 23 promise by Jimmy Wales during the height of the anti-SOPA firestorm, has publicly announced it is transferring all of its domain names from GoDaddy to MarkMonitor as punishment for GoDaddy's early support of the failed anti-piracy legislation.
A Wikimedia spokesman told me a month ago that they were still working on the shift. And buried deep within yesterday's post on the technology blog of Wikipedia's parent organization is this one line: "The Wikimedia Foundation has started to move its domain names from GoDaddy to MarkMonitor."
David says
Because they need that extra domain management service.
John says
I may not move all of mine, but as GoDaddy starts looking more like Big Brother, I’ll be moving a lot of biz away from them.
What GoDaddy did will affect them for a long time.
