WikiLeaks Ready to Release Giant 'Insurance' File if Shut Down
Of the 600 cables released, 250000 remain secret and in insurance file
GENEVA — WikiLeaks's main server in France has gone offline, preventing many users from accessing the U.S. State Department cables and other documents the site has posted online, a group of Swiss supporters said Sunday.
The president of the Swiss Pirate Party, which controls the wikileaks.ch Web address, said he was in the process of pointing that domain name to a different server, apparently based in Sweden.
"The WikiLeaks server in France seems to have been switched off," Denis Simonet told The Associated Press.
"We're now pointing the domain to another address," he added. "That's going to take a few hours."
In the meantime, the site is still reachable through the numerical address of its Swedish server, Simonet said.
WikiLeaks has come under attack from governments and private individuals since releasing thousands of classified U.S. State Department messages last month.
On Friday, wikileaks.ch became the site's main access point after EveryDNS, a company based in Manchester, New Hampshire, stopped accepting traffic to the site's principal address — wikileaks.org — saying cyber attacks threatened the rest of its network.
Simonet was unable to immediately say why the French server stopped working. But France's Industry Minister Eric Besson had warned Friday that it was unacceptable to host a site that "violates the secret of diplomatic relations."
French web hosting company OVH, which owns the server, didn't immediately respond to calls Sunday. The company said earlier that it had been hosting WikiLeaks since early Thursday, after a client asked for a "dedicated server with ... protection against attacks."

Second news is that new Servers are down
Swiss WikiLeaks supporters say France-based server has gone offline, switching to backup
A Swiss group that supports WikiLeaks says the website's main server in France has gone offline.
Denis Simonet of the Swiss Pirate Party says his group is currently redirecting the domain wikileaks.ch to another server based in Sweden.
Simonet told The Associated Press by phone Sunday that the switch could take several hours but that the site that publishes leaked classified documents is still reachable through the numerical address of its Swedish server.
He was unable to immediately say why the French server stopped working.
