I2Coalition launches Secure Hosting Alliance
Fresh group will focus on improving practices at hosting firms.
This stretch, i2Coalition (Internet Infrastructure Coalition) disclosed its fresh Secure Hosting Alliance, which the organization states will “strengthen and improve the hosting and cloud landscape by fostering trust, advocating for fair policies, and safeguarding an open and accessible Internet for everyone.”
The group will develop standards focused on security, privacy, abuse prevention, and transparency.
Twenty-three hosting firms are on board at the start, counting GoDaddy and Automattic.
i2Coalition was founded in 2012 during the SOPA and PIPA debates. These were proposed intellectual property laws that would have caused major disruptions to web hosting businesses.
In 2020, Domain Name Association merged with i2Coalition and is still an active group within the organization.
Stay tuned for next Monday’s podcast, where i2Coalition founder and Executive Director Christian Dawson will explain the organization’s history and why it is launching the fresh alliance.
