Launch of Hall of Fame for Hosters

News | October 5, 2020

There is something new on Internet.nl: a Hall of Fame for Hosters! That is the place where you want to be found as a hoster. Because customers can use it to check if a hoster is up to date regarding the use of modern internet and e-mail standards.

Listing

As a hoster you are a eligble for listing in the Hall of Fame for hosters when your website and email both score 100% on Internet.nl. And if you are able to provide this double perfect to customers as well. Listing is only on request of the hoster. Entrants to the Hall of Fame for Hosters get listed on Internet.nl, get a festive package, and they are allowed to use the Internet.nl compliant badge in their own communications.

Campaign Email Safely

In the summer, the 'Email Safely' (in Dutch) campaign has been launched to encourage companies and hosters to adopt secure email standards. The campaign is an initiative of the Dutch Internet Standards Platform in cooperation with Bouwend Nederland, VNO-NCW, Thuiswinkel.org, MKB-Nederland, Cybersecurity Alliance, Safe Email Coalition, DDMA, DHPA, ISPConnect, and Association of Registrars. During the campaign it was also announced that we would launch a Hall of Fame for Hosters in the fall.

Frequently asked questions

How can I improve the score of a test?

In the test results, you will find an explanation of our findings for all the (sub)tests. Based on this, you could (let someone) make changes to your web or mailserver or connection.

Additional information can be found in our Knowledge base or our Toolbox Wiki.

Why do other test tools show different results?

Internet.nl attempts to always test against the most recent norms and standards. Additionally, we test as thoroughly as we can realise. This is why our results can differ from other (commonly-used) testing tools.

Some of the norms used in Internet.nl are set by the Dutch government. These can be implemented world-wide (and we recommend it!), but be aware that local regulations may differ from the norms used in Internet.nl.

How can I keep up to date of new developments?

News about Internet.nl is always shared on our website and social media. New versions are announced in a news post with the most important changes. You can also follow our work on the source code, new ideas and contributions are very welcome as well!

Users of our API and dashboard are automatically signed up to a mailing list in which we share updates and organise virtual meetings.

How can I (regularly) test multiple domain names?

This is supported by our dashboard and API. You can request an account here if your organisation fits in the target audience. The dashboard is also open source, so you could host this yourself as well.

In the dashboard, it is possible to enter lists of domain names, which then can be automatically tested on a specified interval. You can opt-in to receive an e-mail for every test result.

Can I join the Dutch Internet Standards Platform?

Where our Platform is focused on Dutch organisations, we are facilitating the Global Internet Standards Testing Community (GISTC) to connect international users of the test tool. You can register yourself for the community via international@internet.nl.
