Help the ignorant- What does it take to own/maintain a website free from the "oversight" of a company like GoDaddy?

You need a computer hooked to the internet + the ability to have a DNS record that is not nuked.
The problem is not so much the computer / software side - but to be able to maintain internet access once you have been declared verboten. It is easy to track down IP address ownership; and see how that person is connected and attack that side of the fence.

There are hundreds of registrars, godaddy just happens to be the biggest one. Which one is the best in light of these events, who knows, probably something smaller, maybe something not U.S. based. Then, you either have to pay for DNS server hosting or host your own (slightly more complicated to host your own) and you can host your own web servers off of any internet connection. DNS = the internets phone book. It says www.ar-15.co actually is http://54.209.36.119 <--- this websites REAL address.
Godaddy or some other entity placing a legal hold with godaddy is attempting to outright steal arfcoms domain. Not only did they fuck up their DNS, but they are locking up the registry to keep them from transferring it, so they don't have access to their chattel worth easily ~$250,000. Being that they have several other domains, I'm not sure why they aren't falling back into, it makes me believe that Godaddy has frozen their entire portfolio. This crap is insane, but it is something I did anticipate years ago, just a matter of time. It's also a big, big reason why it is unwise to discuss "grey" area stuff on public facing websites. If people want to discuss those kinds of things, do it in person.

Back before DNS, there was txt file that got passed around and updated in newsgroups. You'd add those entries to a file on your computer so your computer could associate name-IP, and that was how name resolution worked in the early days.
