Q.

Okay.

And the section of that says,

2

"Determine if the website is hosted at one of the Go

3

Daddy group's companies by checking the IP address."

4

Do you see that?

5

A.

Yes.

6

Q.

How would someone at Go Daddy applying

7

this policy determine if a website is hosted at one

8

of the Go Daddy group companies?

9

A.

We would basically do what's called a

10

Whois look up.

11

the registrant information like a standard one.

12

one is specific for hosting.

13

company that the domain name or the website is hosted

14

with.

15

And it is not one that's specific to
This

That would tell us what

If it was showing that it was hosted with

16

a Go Daddy IP address once we did that look-up, we

17

would then check our tools to see if we can identify

18

the account which would tell us with 100% certainty

19

that it is hosted with our company.

20

Q.

Okay.

And then on Section 1.1.1 which is

21

not hosted, send "Not hosted template to the

22

complainant."

Do you see that?

23

A.

Yes.

24

Q.

If Go Daddy applying this policy

25

determines that the website is not hosted at Go
