HavenCo initially received broad coverage in the international media, appearing on the cover of ''Wired Magazine'', in over 200 press articles, and in several television reports. In these reports, HavenCo claimed to have established a secure colocation facility on Sealand, and that it had commenced operations as a data haven. Detractors claim that these reports gave the impression that HavenCo was registered on Sealand itself, and that the company would issue domain names under the authority of that entity, whereas it had no entitlement to do so. | HavenCo initially received broad coverage in the international media, appearing on the cover of ''Wired Magazine'', in over 200 press articles, and in several television reports.
