Hi buddies,
They are contacting Web hosting companies, those that are based in US
especially, asking them to terminate cPanel accounts hosintg .IR
domains.
Their reason:
http://cpanel.net/sanctions/iran.html (YES! strangely
enough the page is in ARABIC)
It doesn't make sense, it's pure madness! please send them emails
asking for explanations, the sanctions does not have anything to do
with ccTLDs, meaning owning a .IR does not make you eligible for any
US sanction, Google owns
google.ir , Yahoo too! selling any software
licenses to either is not a problem, including a cPanel, and I hear US
eased some of the Web-related sanctions, that led to availablity of
Chrome etc for Iranian users, nevertheless
code.google.com is still
unreachable for Iranians, well SourceForge downloads too!
On the other hand, it seems like cPanel is the only company which is
taking things "too" serisouly.
Sending an email takes less than 5 minutes.
