A new ICANN registrar PurityNames.com ts promoting itself in an unusual way as the “The World’s First and Only Family-Friendly Domain Registrar”

According to a press release out today:

“Up until now, if you were in the market for a domain name to launch a website, you would be forced into doing business with companies who almost certainly have been profiting from the sale of domain names being used to spread pornography. With the launch of PurityNames.com, consumers and businesses finally have a family-friendly option.

“PurityNames.com Founder and CEO Jim Prendergast said, “What makes PurityNames.com different is that we refuse to profit from pornography. Period. ”

“Instead of doing business with a company that profits from activities that offend you, why not do business with someone who respects your morals and beliefs?”"

“Everyone who signs on with PurityNames.com must abide by the Purity Code of Conduct, which states you will not use the domain name for a website that will host or distribute pornographic content. ”

“We will police the domains and websites registered and hosted with us to ensure that they are not used for pornography.”

“If we find someone who has violated the Code of Conduct, we will immediately transfer your business elsewhere. We put principles ahead of profit. Purity is that important to us,” said Prendergast.”

The Website goes on to say

At Purity Names, we put principles before profits. We are the only ICANN accredited registrar to prohibit the registration of domains for hosting or distributing pornography. We refuse to profit from pornography. When you register your domain with Purity Names, you become part of a community of people working to make the Internet a better place for families. Do business with a company who respects and shares your values. Go Pure! with Purity Names.”

“”
Purity Names was founded to give individuals and organizations a chance to establish their presence on the internet without having to patronize companies who enable and profit from the spread of pornography. As the world’s first and only family friendly domain name registrar, we ensure that the domains we sell and the websites we host are not used for pornography. Unlike other companies, we turn away those who want to engage in the distribution of obscene material because we don’t want to be associated with such activity.

Now you have the opportunity to do business with a company who respects your ideals. Nearly every other domain name registrar, including all of the well known companies, make hundreds of millions each year from selling domain names used for porn, gambling and other immoral activity. Not us. We refuse to profit from these activities.

What do you get?
- Buy your domains with the only company that refuses to profit from pornography, gambling and other immoral activity.
- Stop doing business with companies that enable pornography on the internet
- Nearly every other domain name registrar has sold domains used for pornography, gambling and other illicit activity.
- Stop doing business with companies who profit from pornography and gambling.
- Purity Names is the only registrar in the world who audits customers to ensure domains are not used for pornography.
- Purity Names – your moral compass for navigating the internet.”
The domain registrar only seems to accept registrations for .com, .net. .org. info, .biz and .mobi

Shockingly they do not accept registrations for .XXX

While the site is full of info about their principals, what is missing from the site is any pricing information.

To try to find pricing I went so far a to try to registrar a domain, but first I got a “Firefox this page is not trusted page” even after I exempted it I would have had to sign up for an account to see how much a .com registration would have been.

other domain name you may need.
.com only USD 9.77/year
