The whistleblower website WikiLeaks.org's popularity has boomed, but migrating to a new server seems almost impossible.
Amazon Web Services, a giant in the e-commerce cloud computing and hosting services, has officially banned Wikileaks from its servers.
The ban came in at just under a day, when Wikileaks migrated from its Swedish servers to Amazon's servers, only to be booted off in under 24 hours.
The move comes as intense scrutiny of the site and Denial of Service attacks pose security risks to Amazon's servers. Amazon certainly does not want to misalign itself politically.
So far, over 250,000 leaked documents have appeared on Wikileaks, including sensitive Iraq war documents.
