RegisterFly / ICANN Battle and New Ping! Zine
So what are the top three news stories in the Web hosting industry this week?
Ping! Zine Gets New Layout and Design
We have unveiled a brand new look here at pingzine.com with a number of great, new interactive features such as the Ping! Zine blogs and newsletter. Take a look around and don’t hesitate to send us your feedback.
It does look a heck of a lot more advanced than the old version. How will Ping! Zine’s blog compete with The WHIR’s blogging team? I’m on the outside on both accounts - so I’ll sit back with the rest of you and see who tops who with the most interesting and informative topics.
RegisterFly Terminated by ICANN
On Friday, ICANN officially terminated its Registration Accreditation Agreement (RAA) with RegisterFly. Paul Twomey, the president and CEO of ICANN, said “Terminating accreditation is the strongest measure ICANN is able to take against RegisterFly under its powers”.
I bet your asking, “Why doesn’t ICANN do more?” and you deserve an answer. The truth of the matter though is they can not do much more to fix this situation. This is the biggest fly swatter that ICANN has and it is nice to see they finally used it. I just wish there was faster way to resolve this whole RegisterFly mess.
Web hosting provider 1&1 Internet announced on Thursday it has conducted a survey that found that more than 30 percent of small business owners said they have opted to use a do-it-yourself package to create their organization’s Web site.
Let me conduct a little survey of my own. Everybody who thinks conducting a survey with obvious results is a lame excuse to spit out a press release raise your hand.
