In the past, under the excessive stimulation of CNNIC's "one dollar squatting" policy, many netizens frantically hoarded domain names, and personal websites emerged in response. Of course, there were many spam websites and pornographic websites. For this reason, after CCTV named and criticized the lack of supervision of domain name registration, CNNIC cut off individual domain name registrations, calling into question the legitimacy of the existence of "grassroots webmasters". Now the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued ("The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Work Plan for Further Implementing the Authenticity Verification of Website Registration Information (Trial)") to clarify the legality of personal website establishment. However, the plan also clarifies the verification documents that individuals need to provide as website sponsors, as well as the authenticity verification and review workflow of website registration information, which raises the entry threshold for personal website building, and will also encounter many problems in actual operation.
According to the requirements of the "Plan", "website sponsors refer to Internet information service providers, including units and individuals." The analysis pointed out that personal website sponsors will also be regarded as the person in charge of the website. The person in charge of the website needs to bring the original documents and materials required for verification to the registration site of the access service unit to go through the verification procedures. The access service unit must collect and retain a color, front-view, bareheaded photo of the person in charge of the website at the registration site. The registration center will uniformly produce and provide a curtain with logo as the background for taking photos. The photo should show the time of taking and the background logo.
The process stipulated in the "Plan" is very detailed, and some analysts pointed out that this process is somewhat similar to the procedure for online registration for exams. That is, "online pre-registration - on-site confirmation - admission ticket issued". The slightly more complicated part of this process is on-site confirmation. When confirming, you need to check your ID and take a photo. After taking the photo, the admission ticket will be printed out at the same time. The process only takes two or three minutes. It is very doubtful that the makers of this "Plan" drew on this process.
But website review is different from exam after all, because website review is not that simple. The key point is "go to the access service unit registration site to go through the verification procedures." The analysis pointed out that because the companies (IDC) that currently provide Internet access services are concentrated in Guangdong, Shanghai and other places, this means that webmasters who operate websites in Gansu may have to rush to Guangdong for registration, which will make the revenue cost already low. personal websites face higher barriers to entry.
IDC manufacturers will also face a wave of tightening. The "Plan" stipulates that IDC will establish a special department to conduct audits before the end of February. The time is short, and I don't know whether the preparations can be done properly. And this will also increase the burden on IDC. "If the registration and verification work brings certain cost pressure, I believe many small and medium-sized websites will completely give up the path of making a living on the website." An IDC person in charge believes that the new regulations can regulate websites However, the loss of webmaster customers will make it difficult for some IDCs to survive.
Now the approval process has not been officially launched, and everyone is still taking a wait-and-see attitude.
In fact, the future of personal websites has attracted attention for a long time. With policies changing day by day, some personal websites that have just started to falter in the wind and rain. While the state encourages individual entrepreneurship, it also leaves some entrepreneurs at a loss. Of course, things are constantly developing and changing, showing an upward spiral. What stage the real-name system for personal websites is currently at can only be commented on later.
