Website ICP Registration Successful

Recently, I have successfully registered my website (kenstudyjourney.cn) in both ICP and Public Security.

The ICP Registration Number of my website is "粤ICP备2023036527号".

Website ICP Registration

I have also migrated my servers and all user data to China Mainland. This will securely protect your data.

This is because:

  • The Data Breach on some Internet services outside China (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) is severe recently (see Firefox Monitor for more infomation)
  • Website number of visitors in China is far larger than that of other countries.

You can see this number at the bottom of my website and you can go to beian.miit.gov.cn to check.

Non-Profit vs. Commercial?

Recently, I have finally distinguished 2 nouns: Non-profit and Commercial.

I finally realised that my services are non-profit and so non-commercial.

I not only share my free study tips and tools (e.g. Ken's Study Planner) but also improve English skills in my free time. This is similar to Volunteering.

In the past few years, my website's visitors mostly come from China, even if the website's main language is English and I was using servers outside.

The number of visitors (and users on Ken's Study Planner) in China is far larger than sum of other countries.

Do you know why is this?

This is because students outside are posting YouTube videos and earning money, and so their channels are commercial.

Students are mostly using this video website instead of searching "study tips" on other search engines.

Additionally, the "Study Tips and Vlog" topic was developed outside, on YouTube, far earlier (since 2014) than my website (since 2019).

History of my Website

In 14 February 2019, my website "Ken Deng" (kendeng1603.com, my English name) was founded.

It used to be a simple personal blog for communicating with English native speakers and improving my English skills.

I didn't study well in the past, but in later 2019, I have overtaken others in our junior high school (Grade 9), getting the Top 10 in our grade and Top 1 in our class.

Then I have changed it to a free study tips sharing website.

In September 2020, I renamed it to "Ken's Study Journey".
