Malicious actors frequently create seemingly legitimate websites that contain or link to malware, or compromise established websites to infect those sites’ users. Security researchers regularly identify these sites on hosting providers’ networks and report them to providers. While some web hosting companies have regular procedures for responding to such abuse complaints, there’s a lack of consensus across the industry about the steps hosting providers should take once a malware report is received. This lack of common standards is compounded by the innate complexity of hosting environments. “When web hosting providers address reports of malware on their networks in a timely manner, they can greatly reduce the spread of badware,” said Maxim Weinstein, executive director of StopBadware. “StopBadware’s best practices aim to assist hosting providers by providing a clear, realistic framework that they can use to streamline response procedures and better protect users.”


StopBadware announced in November of 2010 that it was increasing its focus on the role of web hosting providers in strengthening the Internet ecosystem. The same month, the organization assembled an advisory working group to assist in the development of the Practices. “Our web host working group has been an exceptional resource for us these past few months,” said Weinstein. “Discussing this topic with security researchers, privacy advocates, and members of hosting companies in real time was invaluable, and as a result we at StopBadware have a lot of confidence in the final document and its potential for effective implementation.”

Several industry-leading hosting providers, including Verio, GoDaddy.com, SoftLayer, and Network Solutions, have already voiced their support for the Practices. “StopBadware’s best practices for hosting providers align with our own philosophy on how to effectively manage malware reports,” said Paul Kincaid-Smith, Solution Architect at Verio and member of StopBadware’s web hosting working group. “These best practices are a great framework for hosting providers who are committed to protecting their customers.”

StopBadware has previously worked to create transparency, educational resources, and an appeals process for website owners whose sites have been blacklisted for badware content. A report on the state of badware is expected this spring, and the organization has plans to develop additional best practices over the coming months.

StopBadware is also releasing additional materials to accompany the best practices; these additional materials are available on StopBadware’s website and are intended to help web hosting companies understand and adopt the Practices.

About StopBadware
StopBadware provides tools and information that assist industry and policymakers in meeting their responsibility to protect users from badware, and that help users protect themselves. It began as a project of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University before spinning off as a stand-alone nonprofit organization in 2010. Corporate partners include Google, PayPal, Mozilla, Nominum and Verizon. StopBadware is based in Cambridge, Mass. For more information, visit www.stopbadware.org.

Associated with words such as COmpany, COrporation, and COmmerce, a .CO extension offers an immediately recognizable, global branding opportunity for new and existing websites.

“This domain extension is easy to remember and flexible to use; it creates an ideal platform for today’s socially networked consumers to share content, create communities, and connect, communicate, and collaborate,” explains Sean Kaine, Director of Product Marketing at  Network Solutions, further demonstrating the utility of the extension and its branding possibilities.

As a new domain, .CO extensions can be claimed during four stages. These include:

1: Sunrise Local phase, which allows individuals and companies with a Columbian National Trademark to submit their request
2: Sunrise Global phase, which extends the opportunity to request a domain name to holders of national trademarks that have obtained registered status prior to July 30, 2008
3: Landrush phase, which opens the extension to all with premium pricing
4: General Availability, which opens the extension to all with standard pricing

The Sunrise Global phase of the .CO extension registration gives holders of eligible registered trademarks of national effect that have obtained a registered status in any country of the world the opportunity apply for the .CO domain names before registration is open to the public at large during the Landrush phase.

Some of the general policies regarding the .CO extension include:

• Any person or entity in the world can register .CO domains
• There are no domicile or burdensome documentation requirements
• Registration period is between one and five years, subject to renewal
• Registrants can easily transfer domain names to Network Solutions

“With industry-leading technology, enhanced security and unprecedented rights protection mechanisms, .CO is poised to become the world’s next premier web address,” points out Kaine.
