.IT domains, version 2.0!

By Ryan on Saturday 10 October 2009, 17:00

Following in the footsteps of the .fr registry, the Italian registry in charge of .it domains has revolutionized its operations by upgrading from an asynchronous mode to a synchronous mode (EPP).

What does this mean for you? Those of you that have already had a taste of .it domains (and our poor customer service department) know what I'm talking about. This new mode means the following improvements:
  • There are no longer any complicated faxes in Italian that need to be sent. This has been replaced by a slightly different sales contract that we have included in our new contract.
  • Likewise, for a transfer, if the loosing registrar operates under EPP, you will no longer need to fax forms, but rather, supply an auth code just like .com or .net domains, for example.
  • The zonecheck is still used however.
As a reminder, .IT domains are open to everyone that is living in the European Union, ad you must still indicate your VAT if you are a company or a personal ID number if you are a person, during the registration process.

.IT Launch

By Arti on Tuesday 26 February 2008, 13:51

It has been 3 months since we last rolled out a new domain name extension.

While waiting for .asia to be made available on March 20th, we have decided to jump back in to the action by launching .IT domains, the official ccTLD of Italy.

The .IT extension may be registered to EU nationals and companies, and can be registered for one year (renewable). The details are available at this address: http://www.gandi.net/domain/it/info

Please note that each operation (purchase, transfer, change of ownership or deletion) can only be completed via a special signed document, fax or mail, sent directly to the Italian registry. An e-mail with the necessary instructions will be sent to you once your order has been placed via our website.

.IT domain names are sold at 12€ ($16.00, or 8.30£) excl. tax in the A price bracket. The full price list is available at this address: http://www.gandi.net/domain/price/detail/it/
