Beijing Time April 13 News, according to foreign media reports, the United States Internet regulatory agency ICANN recently claimed that due to the failure of the application system software, it is prepared to apply the new domain name deadline to postpone until April 20. "ICANN has been monitoring the performance of the domain name application system. Recently, we received a report of the abnormal performance of the application system. Then we found that there was a technical problem with the system software. ICANN is taking the safest and most conservative approach to protecting all applicants ' information and securing enough time to solve the problem. A spokesman for ICANN said. The spokesman added that the problem with the application system was "not the result of a hacker attack". So far, Canon and Google have confirmed that they have applied for their domain suffix. Most applications are carried out in secret because the applicant wishes to avoid competition. The fee for applying for a new domain suffix is approximately £ 120,000, while the cost of keeping the new domain suffix is about £ 25,000 a year, so applicants are often large organizations. The new suffix is one of the biggest changes in the Web site system. Its launch has been accompanied by controversy. It has been claimed that it may make the network more complex, leading to more "preemptive domain name" phenomenon. But, on the other hand, some argue that the new domain Name System will improve the security of internet banking. If a bank provides services only through its own new Web site, the chances of users being cheated by fake web sites will be greatly reduced. "Companies that are plagued by fake web sites and domain names are sure to apply for new URLs because the new suffixes can greatly improve security," he said. "La Roland LaPlante, Chief marketing officer at Afilias, a domain name registration service company, said. It is estimated that the first batch of new URL suffixes will have to wait at least 18 months to be effective.
