Move Your Domain Day
Move Your Domain Day is a domain name transferring initiative, initially in response to Go Daddy's support of the Stop Online Piracy Act. It was first held on 29 December 2011, originating from a post on Reddit and spearheaded by domain registrar Namecheap. In 2012, Namecheap began an initiative to make Move Your Domain Day an annual event. The second event was held on 22 January 2013. The third time was held on 5 February 2014. The fourth was held on 27 January 2015. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, Reddit, and domain registrars Name.com and Hover have also participated. Namecheap has defined the initiative as "an annual protest and a commemoration of sorts that will continue to shine a light on the issue of a free and open internet."
== Origins ==
The movement likely originated from a post made on Reddit on 22 December 2011, when a user stated that he would be moving 51 domains away from Go Daddy, and recommended others to do the same. The thread received significant attention from the Reddit community, gaining over 37,000 up votes from users (but also over 32,000 down votes) in favor of the initiative and many comments criticizing Go Daddy's support of the measure. A notable example of the backlash against Go Daddy is Ben Huh, CEO of the Cheezburger Network, who threatened to transfer over one thousand domains away from Go Daddy. In response, numerous domain registrars offered coupons for discounted domain transfers, while also offering to donate a portion of profits to the EFF. Go Daddy itself changed its stance on SOPA in the days prior to 29 December in an attempt to minimize damage.〔
Reports up to 29 December described Go Daddy as "hemorrhaging" customers. On 25 December 2011 (Christmas Day), Go Daddy lost a net 16,191 domains, mostly as a result of the boycott.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Godaddy Loses Domains.. This time for real )〕 However, on 29 December itself, Go Daddy gained a net of 20,748 domains, twice as many as it lost that day, attributed by Techdirt to a number of causes, in particular customers having moved early, and an appeased customer response to their change of position over SOPA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Godaddy Boycott Fizzles;Twice as many domains transfer in as out )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GoDaddy Boycott Fizzles And May Work in Company's Favor )〕
