On December 2, 2010, Demonoid changed its domain from .com to a .me address, to avoid US government seizure.[39] In April 2012, the website changed its domain to a .ph TLD, and started an open beta of the new site on Demonoid.me.[40] On June 15, 2012, Demonoid reverted to its previous .me domain, but returned to the .ph domain a week later.
