Recently, the so-called "charge gate" for domain name binding of 5D6D, the largest free forum in the country, has caused a lot of noise on the Internet. 5d6d officially claimed that due to the strict crackdown on national domain name registration, a large number of servers are in danger of being shut down, so they announced that domain name binding is a paid service. Many forums have begun to crusade: claiming that the biggest scam in the history of the world's Internet has begun! Kangsheng Territory's signature "the largest free forum in the country, never charging, never advertising" is playing word games, free forums are still free forums, but they want to bind Please pay for the domain name. The official used this national crackdown as an excuse to start their own charging plan. Is this a long-planned plan? Or is it forced? Because I have a website also under 5D6D ( http://www.66kkk .cn ), I have some understanding of the 5D6D incident from beginning to end, and I would like to say a few words. As for what is right and what is wrong, I will not make any comments. The following is the beginning and end of the 5D6D "toll gate":
first step:
On December 3, the Free Forum Hosting Services platform My Territory issued a relevant announcement: "Inform its members that relevant national departments have recently strictly inspected network information and strictly inspected website registration information. According to regulations, any information that is untrue All registrations will be cancelled. Untrue situations include "inaccurate personal information, untrue and inaccurate access information." "Currently, all users bound to 5d6d register themselves, and the access provider has not filled us in. Such access information is inaccurate, and access will be cancelled!"
(Let’s release this announcement first and try to “throw stones” to see how members react. As a result, such an announcement will of course make people panic)
Step two:
On December 7, 5D6D issued a relevant announcement: "The period of very strict crackdown on network content monitoring is still continuing. Four of our servers were also disconnected for three days to cooperate with the investigation. These are irresistible factors, not only in the territory, but also in many computer rooms. They are all being investigated and blocked, and serious servers have been taken to the bureau. You can pay attention to the news in this regard. Nowadays, there are no longer a few people who have been unbound due to unregistered domain names and inconsistent access. Our team has also been investigating all night. After careful consideration, the territory has decided to launch a domain name binding fee service. In order to ensure the security of users with bound domain names and solve the problem of registration and access, other servers will now be in danger of being shut down. Now we need to step up the pace and implement it quickly to avoid greater losses. Users who have already bound a domain name will pay 30 yuan for the first month and get 3 months of free binding. The fourth month will be charged 10 yuan per month; new Users who bind a domain name will pay RMB 30 for the first month and RMB 10 per month from the second month, which is RMB 140 for the whole year.”
(As soon as this move came out, it caused a strong reaction from many users. Except for a very small number of lords who expressed their understanding and support in order to seek better and more stable services, the vast majority of lords were skeptical about this. After all, as someone who once promised to always 5D6D, which offers free unlimited space, unlimited traffic, and no advertising, has endured various internal and external pressures in the development process, and it is not easy to develop to the present.
According to insiders, even if you bind a second-level domain name, 5D6D will still charge monthly binding fees without changing the access provider information!
A webmaster user posted: For those lords who followed 5D6D in the early days, the development that has begun to take shape makes them both love and feel pain about this new decision. On the one hand, the territory is for better stability and development, but on the other hand, the territory is for better stability and development. On the one hand, imposing fees too early, too large and too quickly violates its original promise. Although it is not a direct charge, the purpose of this disguised charge can be understood by a discerning person at a glance. Moreover, once charges are opened, the consequences will be disastrous. After all, people are a knife and a servant, and I am a fish and meat. Webmasters all know that without a top-level domain name, building a website is just a wedding dress for others, which has no practical significance. If you want to bind a top-level domain name, you have to pay a high domain name binding fee every year (you know, the current virtual host is almost as expensive as cabbage). For those novices who have just entered the ranks of webmasters and become lords, binding or not binding top-level domain names has little impact for the time being, not to mention that most of them have a playful attitude to learn website building knowledge or seek Internet fun. . On the issue of fees, there is not much involvement or involvement. Just a free second-level domain name is enough. At this point, 5D6D is still the best choice for general free forums. )
Step three:
December 8th. After being criticized by millions of webmasters, 5d6d officials finally made concessions and issued a new announcement: "Relevant state departments have recently strictly inspected network information and also strictly inspected website registration information. According to regulations, all registrations with untrue information will be cancelled." For the record, untruthful situations include "inaccurate personal information, untrue and inaccurate access information." "Users bound to 5d6d now register themselves, and the access provider has not filled us in. Such access information is inaccurate and will be canceled. Please log in regularly at www.miibeian.gov.cn For account inquiries, once the access is canceled or the registration number is cancelled, 5d6d will unbind it, which is required by national policy. In view of the current situation, we provide the following solutions: 1: You can continue to use it without changing the access. The function of binding a domain name is free, but if the registration number is canceled or the registration access information is cancelled, the top-level domain name binding will be canceled at any time. 2: Change the access and re-enter our new domain name binding process so that you can bind it. The designated top-level domain name is more secure. The new domain name binding process is 30 yuan per month for the first month, and 10 yuan per month thereafter. At the same time, users who bind the top-level domain name within the current domain name binding period will receive 3 months for free. The binding period. 3: There is no problem with using the second-level domain name forum, please feel free to use it.”
(But are you really giving in, or are you continuing to sell dog meat? You will find that: the binding date of your domain name has changed. That is: from now on, it will continue to be bound for free for three months. The explanation for this territory is : Within three months, registered and bound domain names can continue to be used. However, when our domain name fails the inspection and is canceled, the territory is no longer responsible for the appropriate binding and all related consequences. This seemingly accommodating approach. On the surface, it seems to be a compromise to the lord's call, but it is better to say: Your life and death are destined to be rich and honorable in heaven. Anyway, our territory has done its utmost to be benevolent and righteous!
Quoting another lord's article: "This approach is still a change of the soup without changing the medicine. The interface access check is used to delay the war. The renewal period of the webmaster's domain name binding function has been uniformly shortened to 2010-3-8, which means Regardless of whether the state investigates or not, "protection fees" will still be charged after three months, and 5d6d has been holding on to the webmasters' data and refused to let go. Kangsheng's behavior at this moment really puzzles the grassroots webmasters. At this time, the 5d6d official forum has opened a post reply review system and closed user registration to respond to the condemnation and accountability of the majority of webmasters.”)
The above is the process of binding the 5D6D domain name to the "toll gate". Of course, this matter has not subsided. The official final announcement has not been issued, and the majority of lords are still confronting the official! If you want to know more about the 5D6D "toll gate", please stay tuned.
