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 This has been replaced by a slightly different sales contract that we have included in our new contract.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.
