Have you noticed that there is more and more censorship on the Internet? Countries that used to be the leaders in free speech, have begun enacting stricter and stricter laws prohibiting where and when freedom of speech is allowed. The Internet is just the latest place to see restrictions beginning to take effect. If someone finds concern over something written about them, or their company, on the Internet they simply have a lawyer step in citing laws and precedents from courts. Since a lot of people host their website in their country of origin, they are regulated by the laws, and legal situations of that country. To protect everyone’s right for freedom of speech more websites are using Icelandic .is domains. These are country Top Level Domains (cTLD) which are governed by the laws of Iceland and cannot be effected, cheaply anyhow, by legal action from outside countries. This is not a stop all legal action, allow you to do whatever on the Internet option but it is great for journalists, newspapers and others spreading news and information that certain individuals may prefer kept secret.
Icelandic .is domains are governed by much more modern laws of Iceland. These laws specifically pertain to freedom of speech and offer special protections at a government level to citizens and companies (websites included) that do business on the isolated island. These laws are much looser in many regards than similar laws in the United States of America or the European Union. This allows a greater freedom for journalists, newspapers etc. to provide critical information to readers that would otherwise be left in the dark.
The next step is figuring out how to get your own Icelandic .is domain. There are many domain registrars available that can help in this regard, though not all of them will be able to offer the same benefits for using their services. Here are some key things to look for when registering your new domain.
Two-factor authentication to protect your domain from being hijacked.
Two-factor authentication simply adds another layer of protection to your site. Your username and password are the first, and most likely to be stolen. Two-factor authentication adds your SMS enabled cell phone to the security mix. This makes your account nearly impossible to hack.
Ensure the business is indeed located in Iceland.
Obviously your web host and domain registrar has to be located, and host sites in Iceland to gain the benefits of the laws there. Icelandic .is domains are nice but you need that additional layer of “in-country-location” protection too.
Make sure you are able to register your domain anonymously and use Private WHOIS service.
Anonymous use and registration is extremely nice for that added sense of security. If no one knows who is running the website, they have even less chance of shutting it down for publishing information to the masses. While Private WHOIS is standard for .com domains. It is noteworthy that it may be difficult to obtain for cTLD’s such as .IS. Make sure your domain registrar is able to provide this service before signing up. Private WHOIS added to Icelandic .is domains should be in place if you are fine with sharing your personal information with your web host but not the public.
Other security concerns
Secure Socket Layers (SSL) simply protects the information being transmitted between your computer and that which is hosting your site. This includes your password, username, anything you do on the site, etc. If the host or registry you are looking at, or are using now, does not offer at least 256 bit level SSL on all login pages, change services IMMEDIATELY.
The laws of Iceland make .is domains very intriguing for many people in today’s internet connected society. However, it is extremely important that you choose a right partner to protect your best interests. You can find more ideas online or register your Icelandic .is domains here.

Winpalace.com was the highest reported domain name sale on July 3rd,2016. The domain name changed hands for $5,600 . According

The new deal with CentralNic Group Plc’s existing client, Radix FZC, speaks about the launch of the first e-commerce TLD, the .STORE domains, that will use only the company’s backend technology platform. Ben Crawford, CentralNic chief executive thinks Radix “has pulled off another significant coup”.
The company highlighted that web domain sellers like GoDaddy, Tucows and 1&1 will be allowed to sell .STORE domains to not just e-commerce websites, but also to other websites. Another important point to remember, sustained by the statistics from nntldstats.com, is that no any other provider gets more sales of new TLDs than its backend.
It seems that CentralNic is one of the few companies that makes profit from the new .STORE domains, obtaining a set fee for each domain registered. Radix’s target for this TLD are small business, well-known brands and start-ups.
“CentralNic values our long term relationship with Radix, which has already emerged as one of the most successful companies in the new Top-Level Domain space, and is excited to be Radix’s partner in ensuring the smooth launch and supporting the expected growth of the .STORE TLD.”
Popularity is on Radix side, making it achieve top 20 rankings for 4 of its TLDs: .SPACE, .WEBSITE, .SITE and .ONLINE. All its other four TLDs have used CentralNic’ s technical backend platform. Perhaps that’s the key to success.
According to statistics from Domainsbot, there are over 1.7 million e-commerce authorized websites.
Offline storage, online cloud storage companies or warehousing groups are part of the secondary target market.
CentralNic has gained Radix confidence, its vice president, Sandeep Ramchandani portraying CentralNic as a reliable and confirmed partner.
“While the purpose for .STORE is specific to websites and platforms that offer products or services for sale online, the target market is global and highly diverse,” were Sandeep Ramchandani words.
Having a brandname.STORE is the ideal gateway for customers who want a web commerce site.
Radix expects to have the biggest demand from existing brands in the coming future. In Ramchandani opinion customers are looking for short, plain and accurate call-to-action for their marketing messages.
.STORE domains launch details
Sunrise period: April 6th- June 5th
Pre-registration: April 6th- June 14th
