Directi president Bhavin Turakhia said his company has disabled its registrant-anonymizing privacyprotect.org service for all Web site names registered through Klikdomains.com, which he said has sold roughly 100,000 Web site names through Directi during the past couple of years. Nearly half of those have been suspended due to abuse complaints, Turakhia said. More than 21,000 sites were suspended in the past 48 hours alone. Directi currently is investigating most of the remaining 50,000 domains registered through Klikdomains.com, Turakhia added.
