What Is CISPA?

Last Updated on Monday, 4 June 2012 05:04 Written by Arian Jahansouz Friday, 25 May 2012 12:00

The official position of Arvixe is against CISPA. This is simply an educational article informing blog readers about the CISPA bill and its potential impact on the average Internet user. 

So it seems that the threat of SOPA and PIPA has passed. Arvixe explained what SOPA was and took a stance against the act in this article.

But have you heard about CISPA? CISPA is the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act and it actually passed through the House of Representatives on April 26th.

While SOPA focused more on copyright issues, CISPA aims to “track cyber threats.” The bill allows for government agencies and private companies to all be allowed to share private information about cyber threats. No one can deny that cyber threats have certainly been on the rise. We live in a world where most of our daily activities and private information is online, so criminals and vandals have turned towards the Internet to achieve their goals. While CISPA actually does have the potential of being a good thing, the question simply becomes: “what is considered a ‘cyber threat’?”

With CISPA, a cyber threat is anything that makes “efforts to degrade, disrupt or destroy” vital networks. Also, a cyber threat could be anything that can be taken as a “threat or misappropriation” towards information that is privately owned or owned by the government.

Hello,

Ever wondered what are differences between a Virtual Private Server and a Dedicated server? Well, when I was starting in the web world, I for sure asked myself at least once this question. Time later, I finally understood completely their differences. If you are here because you want to know if a VPS or a Dedicated would work better for your case, keep reading too.

To understand what a dedicated server is, think of your personal computer: nobody uses except you. You have full control of what you do in there, the resources that are used, etc.

What is The “ww2″ or “ww3″ That Precede A Domain Name?

Hello,

Ever wondered why some domains are: ww2.domain.xxx, ww3.domain.xxx? Well, I did. Indeed, I was very curious why they had it, until I found out why…

There were several unsupported theories that tried to explain these, such as: “it’s a new Internet that is faster”, “the higher the number in the wwx, the higher the bandwidth allowed”, and so and so, until I found out the real cause: subdomains. Yes, you heard right, it’s not a faster internet protocol, not a higher bandwidth server, they’re just subdomains.
