About: AlterNIC

An Entity of Type: organisation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

AlterNIC was an unofficial, controversial Internet domain name registry that relied on an alternative DNS root. The primary purpose of the project was to challenge the monopoly of InterNIC, the official governing body for generic top-level domains (gTLDs) until the creation of the ICANN in 1998. AlterNIC offered second level domain registration in its own TLDs at lower prices than InterNIC. However, these domain names could only be resolved by name servers that were specifically configured to use the AlterNIC root zone. The project is now defunct; the domain name alternic.net is parked and no longer associated with AlterNIC.

dbo:abstract
  • AlterNIC va ser un registrador no oficial de noms de domini d'Internet creat l'any 1995, que va generar molta controvèrsia i que funcionava amb un sistema arrel de noms de domini alternatiu. El seu propòsit principal era desafiar el monopoli d' com a jerarquia governant dels dominis de primer nivell (gTLDs) fins a l'aparició de l'ICANN l'any 1998. Alternic oferia registre de segon nivell amb els seus propis dominis de primer nivell (TLD) a preus més econòmics que InterNIC. Tot i això, aquests noms de domini només els podien resoldre els servidors de nom que estaven configurats de forma específica per utilitzar la zona arrel d'AlterNIC. El projecte no funciona actualment i el nom de domini alternic.net està aparcat i ja no s'associa amb AlterNIC. Eugene Kashpureff, un dels fundadors d'AlterNIC juntament amb Dianne Boling, va tenir tot un seguit de problemes legals l'any 1997. (ca)
