Just for the interest, I thought I'd look into how I might do this. Technically, it'd be very easy - just create an FTP account on my hosted webservice, and set up the extra domain.
The problem is that they would get me by the terms of service: "Personal accounts are to be used by the primary owner only. Personal account holders are not permitted resell, store or give away web-hosting services of their web site to other parties. Web hosting services are defined as allowing a separate, third party to host content on the owner's web site. Exceptions to this include ad banners, classified ads, and personal ads. Unlimited-Space.com reserves the right to refuse service and /or access to its servers to anyone." I can see how mirroring Wikileaks could be considered "giving away web-hosting service", which is against the ToS. Secondly, they could also argue that "Unlimited-Space.com do not allow any of the following content to be stored on its servers: Illegal Material - This includes copyrighted works, commercial audio, video, or music files, and any material in violation of any Federal, State or Local regulation." All the Australian government would need to do is classify the wikileak data as illegal, or just invoke copyright on the cables issued by Australian embassies. So alas, I would fold at the first whiff of a fight. But I'm glad to see a lot of other sites offering support already. Maybe torrenting might work better?
