Internet and the UAE
 

We own our own domain name. I am not a "computer person", so humor me. Will we be able to access "forbidden" sites through our own domain?

Also - Why in the hell are the darn "New post", and "karma" buttons so freaking small on this board? I had to go get my damn glasses to find the button to start this post - LOL! :D

I am not a 100% expert on IT,but as far as I know,to access your site from a normal computer,you will still have to pass through Etisalat proxy,hence you will get the Site Flocked.
But if you have a server of your own,I think its another story.

I'm guessing American Mom has web space from her currest ISP or has rented some from a web hosting company. As she admits herself, she's no IT guru, and so unlikely to be administering her own physical server.

She will still be able to access her site/domian for updates etc, just so long as her particular domain ist blocked - I'm assuming it is not pornographic. :scared:

What I think she is getting at is would she be able to surf fordidden sites using her 'acceptable' domain as some kind of proxy. I'm guessing this is not possible.

Well,Ned,after reading your response,I feel more out of the loop than AM.

Hi Shoushou,

That wasnt the intention. There was a few 'guesses' on my part in my posting. I have a reasonable understanding of these things, but I wouldnt class myself as a 'guru'.

I was also guessing from experience.
And, I am a Lifestyle Guru for kindergarten kids at night.Day job is not as glamorous though :D

Thanks guys for answering. My husband said something about having a server, but he mumbles a lot........

Hi AM,

Have a look at time out this month, they do a full spread (pun intended fnaar) about the whole internet barring stuff.

basically unless you ork in Media city or live in an Emaar development, you must go through Etiilisat 9or whatever they're called).

So you're a bit buggered.

So to speak.

Re: Internet and the UAE
 

There are about 3-4 millio people who are buggered.
So to speak.
