Maybe you don't understand this, so give a simple example. All domestic websites need to be put on record, but only websites that provide paid information services need to apply for ICP license.
Paid information services basically include business activities such as providing paid information services to Internet users for profit (such as information in the form of voice, text, data and images that can only be browsed or downloaded through your website after paying a certain fee in advance or afterwards, or information such as text, ringtone and images sent to mobile phones, fixed telephones and other terminals for browsing or downloading); Other similar business activities, such as charging fees, then making web pages for users and posting them on the website, are also business activities and require ICP business licenses.
What are the consequences of operating a website without an ICP license? The telecommunications regulatory agencies of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall order them to make corrections and impose a fine of not less than 5,000 yuan but not more than 50,000 yuan. Therefore, if your website is non-operating, you only need to carry out ICP filing, and if your website is operating, you must apply for ICP business license.
