Hosting Your Own Web ServerThis article requires that you have knowledge of #php and cURL.All Websites Need Web HostingIf you aren’t sure what web #hosting is — everything on the Internet usually needs a web host. To summarize: the Internet is the Earth. The websites on it are real estate and could be considered houses or commercial buildings, which can be defined with an IP address. The roads on it are the DNS routes. The browser is the car we all drive to visit those places. A web host is where your files are and how everyone finds your real estate on the web. A registrar helps with getting your address, an IP address, that you actually don’t ever really see — which resolves to a name for your website, and usually starts with www.(dot) and ends with (dot)com or another TLD (top level domain) (...)

What actually happens when you buy a domain name?

You’ve just thought of the next big thing. It’s gonna have AI, and you’re going to put it on the blockchain.You go onto GoDaddy, enter the name in, and boom —Eventually you find one that isn’t taken, and $10 later, it’s yours. Of course, you never ended up starting that project.But ever wonder where that $10 goes?You’re probably aware that when computers talk over the #internet, they use numerical labels (IP addresses) to identify each other. These are hard for us to remember, so we prefer friendly names like “google.com”. For you to access Google, some magic has to happen behind the scenes to turn “google.com” into Google’s IP address, “216.58.214.14".First of all, someone at Google had to have registered the name google.com. This is done via a domain name “registrar” such as GoDaddy. Registrars (...)

#Sci-Hub domains inactive following court order • The Register
▻https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11/23/scihubs_become_inactive_following_court_order

A spokesperson for Verisign, which controls .cc domains, told us: “Verisign responds to lawful court orders subject to our technical capabilities. When the Company is presented with such lawful orders impacting domain names within our registries, we respond within our technical capabilities. Beyond that, we have no comment.”

The domain sci-hub.bz, whose registrar is listed as todaynic.com, does not currently have the status of “serverHold”. On the social networking site vk, Sci-Hub wrote that users could use the DNS project servers 80.82.77.83 and 80.82.77.84.

DNSControl is a system for maintaining DNS zones. It has two parts: a domain specific language (DSL) for describing DNS zones plus software that processes the DSL and pushes the resulting zones to DNS providers such as Route53, CloudFlare, and Gandi. It can talk to Microsoft ActiveDirectory and it generates the most beautiful BIND zone files ever. It runs anywhere Go runs (Linux, macOS, Windows). The provider model is extensible, so more providers can be added.

The start-up Letter.ly also announced that it had gone down because it had let its domain registration expire, and it could not establish contact with the registrar to renew it’s contract. “Sorry for the hassle,” they wrote in an email to their users. “it’s amazing that a physical war has affected our service in this way.”

“.io is a place, but you can’t go there,” Bridle writes , “unless you’re serving in the military, sailing your own yacht, or in chains. The only way the rest of us can reach it is through the Internet.”

Like Libya, the British Indian Ocean Territory is another example of how a cool-sounding abbreviation in a URL can mask a complex situation in the real world. And there are dangers to that. The more obscure countries of the world are selling their names away as branding tools. In such a system, it’s easy to lose sight of the very real geographic and political dimensions to a domain name.

There’s a strange sort of reverence that surrounds our relationship with sports. Jay Coakley first noticed it as a graduate student at the University of Notre Dame, in Indiana; he was studying sociology, so perhaps it was hard not to analyze the sport-centered culture that surrounded him. He observed the hype around football weekends, the mania of pep rallies, and the fundraising enthusiasm of booster clubs. He noticed that football players always seemed to have the nicest cars—and heard through his wife, who worked at the registrar at the time, that sometimes transcripts were changed to keep players on the field. He was so intrigued that he proposed doing his thesis and dissertation on the topic.“My faculty advisor in the sociology department said, ‘Are you crazy? You have to focus on (...)

Passenger pigeon eggs at the Maine State MuseumBrandon Keim; displayed courtesy of Paula Work, registrar & curator of zoology at the museum The last passenger pigeon died just over a century ago, though they’ve lived on as symbols—of extinction’s awful finality, and also of a human carelessness so immense that it could exterminate without really trying what was the most populous bird in North America. Centennials being a form of ritual, much has been written about them recently: about flocks a mile wide turning mid-day skies black and taking days to pass, descending upon Eastern forests in a storm of life. Their sheer, vanished ubiquity is evident in the list of places named after passenger pigeons, which can be found just about everywhere east of the Mississippi and below the (...)

Because Lambert and Charlotte were unmarried, they were required to sign the birth register together. But Lambert let Charlotte down on the handful of occasions when they made appointments to visit the registrar’s office, so Charlotte was forced to register her son under her own name. In hindsight, Lambert’s refusal to sign the document looks odd; but at the time it appeared in keeping with the beliefs of a radical activist who eschewed any connection to the state.

#ACTA et la #censure d’#internet

Under ACTA such examples will become commonplace:
1. domain name (...) It has already happened that a Spanish company - its online business disappeared overnight because the American registrar deleted the domain names. The crime? Providing travel services to Cuba – legal in Spain, illegal in the USA.
2. (...) avoid doing anything which would risk unilateral measures being taken by the registrar
3. Search engine (...) Google also takes voluntary measures to remove access to material that it fears is contrary to European law – although it continues to allow US consumers access to that material.
4. The payment service providers might freeze your accounts and block your payments (...).
5. The service or hosting providers may remove your website if they believe that any aspect of your site might be directly or indirectly breaking the law. (...)
6. You should also be aware that it also would be possible for your payment provider to disclose some of your financial information, even commercially sensitive information, to “judicial authorities or to the right holder (...).
7. It is important to be careful with linking to content on other websites or in choosing advertisements displayed (...)
8. Finally (...) advertising networks are increasingly being asked to take action by blocking payments to websites (...)

Lebanese PM would resign over lack of funding for STL, not over sanctions | Al Akhbar English
►http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/lebanon-pm-mikati-threatens-quit-over-stl-funding

Mikati told al-Akhbar that he asked the tribunal’s registrar, Herman von Hebel, when Lebanon had been made aware of the tribunal’s funding situation.

“I asked, when did the tribunal request funding, and he gave me a letter sent to [then PM] Saad Hariri from the tribunal at the beginning of December 2010 requesting the funding within 30 days.”

Mikati asked why the tribunal was not paid on time, the STL registrar said that there had been a deal made between Saudi Arabia and Syria that postponed the payment.

Ici, donc, le Premier ministre actuel découvre que le précédent Premier ministre, Saad Hariri, avait déjà manqué de payer la part libanaise du financement du TSL.
