Site Name: Star JV

Site address: http://www.star.co.kp

Organization: Star JV

Site host: The site is hosted inside the DPRK’s IP address space by Star JV

Domain registration: No details available.

Site Contents: The site appears to be the domain registry for the dot-KP domain, although the site is still under construction. As of time of writing, none of the buttons appear to work and the code behind the page doesn’t connect with an actual database, so for now this is a front-end website with no back end. The dot KP domain is controlled by Star JV, the venture between the government’s telecom ministry and Thailand’s Loxley Pacific.

History: The web server hosting the site was first spotted online in late 2010, but it carried a default Apache web server start page until April 2011.
