Domains Bankers
The group of European banks and providers, as well as companies involved in security, called for ICANN to establish a special blast zone, which can be used only to banks and financial institutions.
Creating a domain SAFE (safety) or SURE (confidence) would be for users of the bank guarantee of the authenticity of the site. Visitors to the site would have been assured that they are not at an ordinary fisher forgery, set up to steal data.
It could also create a blast zone BANK, register domains, which would be allowed only after the official bank of the registrar of all licenses and statutory instruments. European experts acknowledge that it will require banks to make additional efforts and time, but security benefits for the bank and its clients is evident.
Under this British Banking Association APACS, the UK in 2006, damage from acts of fishers estimated at 33.5 million pounds (about 60 million dollars) in 2005 - to 23.2 million pounds (about 45 million dollars). Annual growth in damage from Internet crimes in the banking sector is around 44%. In 2005, officially recorded 1 713 cases of phishing, and in 2006, already 14 of 156 cases.
Experts say the recent emergence of new programming services, allowing a greater or lesser degree of probability "fish" site-snag, but the funds have not at all, and their effectiveness is not always close to 100 per cent. In ICANN to refrain from commenting on the matter.
Domain POST - the summer of 2007, the Universal Postal Union (UPU) has entered into negotiations with an nternational corporation ICANN, administering the Internet address space. The subject of dialogue - the domain of limited use POST. Currently, the joint efforts of ICANN and the UPU on a single instrument to delegate the domain POST coming to an end.

Domain LAT
Domain designed for Latin America, will be marked LAT. This was announced Federation of Internet and e-commerce countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (eCOM-LAC) and the Mexican Network Information Center (NIC Mexico) at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), held in Rio De Janeiro in November 2007.
While Latin American domain name, eCOM-LAC and NIC Mexico had made a serious step towards its establishment. LAT is associated with Latin America, so with the emergence of a new zone of Latin American resources will become more recognizable.
In the near future a proposal to create a new domain will be submitted to the ICANN, which must decide on his fate in the fourth quarter of 2008. Experts note that the domain LAT has all chances to appear on the list of top-level domains. LAT will be the third territorial domain after the EU (Europe) and ASIA (Asia).
XXX domain
The Corporation ICANN, the Internet address space manager, has put forward new proposals for a XXX domain for websites with erotic content. Proposal for the establishment of the special top-level domain, first introduced in 2001, has already twice rejected by ICANN (in 2004 and 2006).
At the outset of the global Internet community was not unanimous, is whether or not to enter a new zone. For the first time, ICANN refused to run a "domain for adult back in 2004, which caused storm of outrage from the conservative American politicians who saw the refusal as ICANN unwillingness" to protect our children from dirt. " According to them specially designed blast zone would facilitate filter out "obscene" websites, which are now scattered all existing domains. In turn, American freedoms Union (ACLU) has expressed concern that some countries have pens in a zone XXX any "dubious" resources.
In 2006, the creation of a new domain-oriented sites for adults, was suspended at the request of the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush (letter to ICANN came from Assistant Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce Michael Gallagher). ICANN has frozen the results of five years and now must try to allay the fears of American politicians that the emergence of a special domain would cause a sharp increase in the number of porn sites.
In January 2007, it was announced that a new consideration of the proposal. ICANN agreed to do so after the potential registrar, the corporation ICM, has pledged to strictly control the content of sites in the new domain, in which access to minors will be closed. In addition, ICM has pledged to prevent the emergence of Internet resources in the zone XXX child pornography.
Remarkably, his fears about the creation of "online red-light quarter" has already made some owners of porn sites. In their view the movement of the domain XXX all sites "for adults" will significantly reduce attendance at existing sites with erotic content. The fact is that much of their traffic comes from corporate computers during working hours and employers have not yet been able to close the staff access to such sites. Introduction XXX domain and moving it all porn sites make such filtering possible.
Web hosting services are in demand in a growing number of Web sites. And any intermediary to sell hosting (in the future will call it a reseller) quickly and without much effort can make real money.
However, just as in any other business to greater success need to know some of the subtleties of reselling.
The first and most important, what you should do - is to find the most suitable web hosting. It must be very reliable and proven company. In addition, the company must provide a favorable environment for its resellers. Of course not easy to find the perfect combination, but if you try and look, it seems such a challenge can handle.
Reliable Web Hosting means that you have registered clients do not face problems in hosting. And even if this happens, they can count on a very timely and quality support. This is very important for the growth of your business, because satisfied customers necessarily lead to a new you. Or you can even send them your potential customers that they shared their positive impression on you.
Also, you can increase your revenue by choosing hosting with an existing profitable reseller package. This problem should not arise, since many companies offer reseller packages at a fairly favorable terms. Under pasture conditions meant a high percentage of income and low overhead.
As a reseller, you must plan how to advertise your business and how to promote your site, from where it will occur every purchase. There is no chance to build a successful business if you do not untwist the site and attract visitors. Indeed, the more visitors you on the site, the more of them will want to join the "big and friendly family" of your customers. And, therefore, you get more money for their hard work.
Another very important good control panel for the reseller. You must be open a lot of opportunities to manage hosting. You should be able to form plans, carry out various actions to provide additional services, organize affiliate programs and much more.
Whatever the reasons for the decision to change hosting, whether poor technical support or permanent downtime, you can formulate a set of rules that will help to do so with minimal losses.
- Start is a small - just compile a list: what to do, in what order, as it should not be forgotten.
- Make a back-up of your site. Save all - all pages, images, files, databases, scripts, links, etc. Unless the site is not monstrous size, it does not take away a lot of time, but save a lot of nerves when why any access to the site on the old host will not be possible.
- Find a new host. This can not devote a single article. Main - look and compare as closely as possible.
- Finished with the preceding paragraph, upload your site and everything that has to it. You will get a new IP-address. It takes time for debugging and testing site for individual IP, yet you have not yet re your domain name.
- Once the site is fully-established, and you saw its functionality, it's time to contact the domain name registrars and transfer the name to a new host.
- Wait until the end of reordering of names. While movement DNS, both the host - old and new - update information on the site, and details about the new DNS distributed over the network. This usually takes 1-2 weeks, and during this period, do not delete the site from your old host.
- Once again test the site - all the links, postal addresses, databases, files, etc.
- And now - and not a step before (!) - It is time to remove the old account. The premature removal could go sideways and lead to confusion of domain names.
- It may be worth require from the old host some relief. Obviously, you remain dissatisfied with something, once decided to change it. Here, all means are good, but may prove particularly useful to search for evidence of bad service at the site, monitoring web hosting providers.
Most likely, this list could be supplemented, but in a way he can help significantly lower costs (both tangible and psychological) of the transition to a new host.
