ISNIC, in charge with *.is, sez:
"Under what circumstances would ISNIC close or delete the domain wikileaks.is based on the contents of their website?
The answer is simple, such an action would require a formal court order from an Icelandic court. ISNIC has never been handed such a verdict about any .is-domain during its close to 25 years of history."

- c1sc0 15y agoOne of the reasons why I chose a .is domain for my personal blog. A few gotchas though: registering a .is domain takes a while (think days/weeks instead of minutes) and your TTL needs to be high. http://fr.anc.is http://fr.anc.is
- walrus 15y agoWhat does TTL stand for in this context?
- mattparlane 15y agoIt's the normal DNS Time-To-Live: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_to_live#DNS_records http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_to_live#DNS_records Iceland's servers have to host the records, so low TTLs would increase their traffic and therefore load.
- ChuckN 15y agoWhy is TTL relevant here. You register the domain name with Iceland but the nameservers need have nothing to do with Iceland.
- dangrossman 15y ago@ChuckN : FYI, you have been hellbanned for the past ~2 years. Your comments are automatically marked [dead] and hidden.
- snatch_backside 15y agoWell, that just makes me want to see them. How do I do that?
- dangrossman 15y agoTurn on 'showdead' in your profile.
- snatch_backside 15y agoSweet, thank you.
- biturd 15y agoHow can you tell, how do you know?

- thebigshane 15y agoLooking through his comments after reading your comment feels just like watching the Sixth Sense. Has ChuckN really been commenting for the past two years without knowing nobody can see him (well except for the few that enable showdead)? And now, maybe today, ChuckN will read your comment, the first person to acknowledge him after so long, and he will playback the last 2 years of his HN involvement in a montage in his head as all of the pieces start to come together ... why does no one respond to my comments? why do my comments always get downvoted? could it be true? am I really... dead? This is quite a remarkable story actually.
- c1sc0 15y agotimezones ... thx for responding about TTL. About the only thing I'd add is that it needs to be set to 24h whereas most others will accept lower values.

- jcdavis 15y agoI don't remember having a high registration time for my .is domain, although its possible I just forgot. The only gotcha I would mention if you go through isnic is that you need to have your own DNS servers, and they have to be registered with ISNIC with a NIC handle (and some other things?). I just use Linode's DNS servers (where I host it), and haven't had any issues.
- 178 15y agoyou can also use 1984.is, an icelandic free dns provider. nice guys, too.
- dataminer 15y agoHave you used their vps service? If you have please comment on its reliability, seems very competitively priced. According to wikipedia 100% of Iceland electricity is produced from renewable sources. I am tempted to move most of my servers to Iceland.
