A website content management system (CMS) allows you to make changes to your website without learning any website code. This software system provides website authoring, collaboration, and administration tools designed to allow users with little knowledge of web programming or markup languages to create and manage website content with relative ease. Website content management systems are web applications that are purchased through a monthly subscription and built when a website is initially created (they can’t be added after the fact). Bottom Line: Website CMS software allows you to control your website, making changes when needed without incurring costly maintenance contracts.

When you launched your last website, it was a big success. Over the years your once clear and easy to understand homepage has become a cluttered mess. Photos show former employees and never mind what the website looks like on the latest technology. A firm is hired and the cycle repeats itself.

  • How Indirect Intermediaries Shape Online Speech
    Mitchell 1 Anna Mitchell Professor Nate Persily INTLPOL 323 December 16, 2018 Hidden Censors: How Indirect Intermediaries Shape Online Speech 1. Introduction “Literally, I woke up in a bad mood and decided someone shouldn’t be allowed on the internet. No one should have that power.” After a whirlwind five days of social media protests and internal tension, Matthew Prince, the CEO of Cloudflare, an Internet-services company, decided to terminate its contract with The Daily Stormer. The Internet’s most popular neo-Nazi website had vanished from the Web.1 Cloudflare’s content distribution network (CDN), improving the Stormer’s performance and protecting it from distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, had allowed the site to stay afloat for months or years. But that changed in 2017 during a period of tense racial relations in the United States. From August 11 to 12, the Daily Stormer helped organize the white supremacist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Soon after, it published articles calling murdered protestor Heather Heyer a “sloppy lard ass” and labeling her death an accidental heart attack.2 Reaction was swift. The next day, activist Amy Suskind tagged web hosting service GoDaddy in a Twitter post: “@GoDaddy you host The Daily Stormer - they posted this on their site. Please retweet if you think this hate should be taken down & banned.”3 Within 24 hours, GoDaddy responded by withdrawing hosting services. When the Stormer tried to switch to Google, it soon followed suit.4 Zoho refused to provide email service,5 and Twitter shut down Mitchell 2 associated accounts.6 With multiple major companies withdrawing services, it became increasingly difficult for the Stormer to host and propagate content.

  • COVID Scams and Domain Industry Accountability Backgrounder
    DOMAIN INDUSTRY IS PROFITING OF ILLEGAL ONLINE DRUGS & COVID-19 SCAMS ONLINE CRIMINALS ARE EXPLOITING THE PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY FOR PROFIT The pandemic has led to an explosion of cybercrime, preying upon a population desperate for safety and reassurance. These criminal activities require domain names, which are being used to run phishing, spam, and malware campaigns, and scam sites. 1 • During March 2020, at least 100,000 new domain names were registered containing terms like “covid,” "corona," and “virus” 2, plus more domains registered to sell items such as medical masks. 3 Beyond this, other domains were used to spam out advertisements for COVID-themed scams. • As of March 2020, the number of confirmed malicious COVID-related domains is in the thousands. • New domain names fitting these criteria are being registered at the rate of around 1,000 per day. 4 o Nearly 6,500 of those domains have the ability to send and receive email -- which is a strong indication that they could be used in phishing, fraud or business email compromise attacks. o 122 of the names also contain the string “vaccine” and over 400 contain the string “test” with well over 20% of both those sets of names also ready to send and receive email. BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION: DOMAIN INDUSTRY ACCOUNTABILITY Domain name registries and registrars (R/R) must act to stop online COVID-19 scams, and sales of illicit opioids and of counterfeit or unapproved prescription drugs. • R/Rs have the power to stop massive amounts of public health harms and fraud online. • R/Rs should immediately, upon notice from a credible party, lock and suspend any domain name that is used to facilitate the COVID-19 scams and the illegal online sales of medicines and illicit drugs.
