Which has been bought by Verisign.

Doesn't matter, they've been very scummy scumbags before. They were even
proud of having been able to circumvented their own policies in an auditing.

They're also known spammers. They were kicked out of a data center 2-3
years ago after I (along with many others, I suspect) reported them to
their colo provider. I was pretty impressed.

I wouldn't touch them whether they were owned by Verisign or not.
