The Pirate Bay has set sail to a new domain for the third time in a week. After just a few days Peru decided to suspend the site’s .PE domain forcing the torrent site to move to the Guyana-based .GY ccTLD. The Pirate Bay team is not too worried about the domain whack-a-mole and says they have some 70 domain names in reserve, and plenty of other options for people to access the site.

The past week has been a busy one for The Pirate Bay’s IT department, with the site skipping from domain to domain every other day.

After pressure from anti-piracy group BREIN the notorious BitTorrent site first lost its .SX domain. In a response The Pirate Bay moved to Ascension Island’s .AC ccTLD, and facing another suspension it switched to Peru’s .PE domain a few days later.

However, TPB did not receive a warm welcome in Peru either.

The Pirate Bay team has informed TorrentFreak that the .PE domain was suspended a few hours ago, without prior warning. This means that the site had to switch to the fourth domain in a week, and this time it settled for thepiratebay.gy, using the Guyana based .GY ccTLD.
