Do you mean that they terminated your hosting package with them

No, I strictly used GoDaddy as a registrar only and would never host anything on their garbage servers. They changed my name servers, pointed it nowhere, and removed the domain from my account so I couldn't even manage it. This was after they requested I provide permission from Bitamp within 48 hours. Bitamp told them they had no problem with me using the project, but wanted me to make specific changes to their MIT licensed code, removing mentions of Bitamp. I made those changes within the 48 hours before GoDaddy suspended it days later. They then restored it a day later with no additional changes being made. In my 25+ years working in IT, I have never had this happen. Not even with clients. Hell, they even let well known hate groups and murderers use them for domains AND hosting and do nothing about it.

They are still claiming that Bitamp contacted them stating it was a phishing site when it was only an exact and unmodified copy of their "open source" project. As far as I know, Bitamp only contacted them after GoDaddy stated I had 48 hours to get permission from Bitamp, and I then copied Bitamp on the emails. I don't know if they contacted them prior to the initial suspension warning like GoDaddy is now claiming. The Bitamp project was on the domain for over 6 months doing nothing since I initially tested it. Bitamp apparently got upset because my domain was coming up on the first page of Google when searching Bitamp. The only thing open source about it is the HTML/JS/CSS. None of the PHP scripts are there to see what they could be doing with your seed. It's effectively a non-functioning project other than the JS generating a seed.
