Today is IWF (Internet Watch Foundation) Awareness day - the only day in the year when everyone is trying to be aware about filth and fraud ruling the internet.
Afilias, the registry of INFO domain names, has actually tried to switch from words to deeds. The company has found methods to cut the abusive sits on a domain name registry level.
Law institutions and registrars are a part of this safety scheme. Initially, when INFO domain name was launched, it quickly gained popularity as a place of fraud and abuse. INFO has maintained its notorious fame ever since.
The best indication are the prices: once again GoDaddy has a promotion where they’re begging you to take an INFO domain name for a $0.99 first year’s fee. The renewal price has also been dropped by $2.00 and now is just $7.99. I will be dropping several INFO names from my portfolio once again this year and I know webmasters who will do the same.
It is really INFO’s last chance to kill the po*no abuse and fraud that is thriving within its almost 5 million registered domains’ info-realm.
The chief executive of IWF Peter Robbins OBE expressed delight to welcoming Afilias on IWF board. Will Afilias be able to make a difference this time?
