China Ban – No Individual Can Register A New Domain Name Anymore
In a desperate move to stem down vulgar contents on personal domains used by Chinese web-publishers, the China Internet Network Information Centre, which supervises domain name registration in China, has banned any Chinese individual from any further domain name registrations.
As the new notification shows, anybody who needs to register a domain must be a businessman or organization having legal papers including business seal & Company business license & registrant ID. This in turn, makes it clear that no individual can enjoy the right to register any domain names from now on.
You could read the detailed notification published on the China Internet Network Information Centre webpage.
The even bigger news is that, individuals with already registered domain names under their name is also going to face the heat. As reported by The Next Web, web-publishers in Jiangsu, Shanghai, Henan, Zhejiang and Jiangxi are already reporting the inaccessibility of their websites.
