Who should register an i.ph domain?
Anyone who wants to have a domain for individual use should register an i.ph
domain.
i.ph domains are only for individual use. They may not be used by companies,
organizations, partnerships, or sole proprietors; these entities should use
regular .PH domains instead.
i.ph domains may be used by businessmen or professionals, provided that the
views on the i.ph blogs represent those of the individual, and not of the
organization/company/partnership/sole-proprietorship that they are a part of.
