Registro .it

Twelve photographers tell ten values of twelve successfull enterprises. Registro .it has selected twelve renowned .it realities of the international food sector: to describe them, twelve photographers of the Italian Institute of Photography have turned into images the values that drive them. The result is a photo that brings to Expo Milano 2015 the stories of those who work for a healtier and fairer food, in and out of the web.

Today sees the start of Digitaly, the project carried out by CNA, in collaboration with Amazon, Google, Registro .it and Seat Pagine Gialle, to bring small and medium-sized Italian enterprises into the digital age.

The site of the marketing campaign of Registro.it is online (www.unnomeunsogno.it). The campaign is aimed at increasing awareness in the use of the Internet, with a special focus on micro, small and medium enterprises, which are the backbone of the Italian economy and that can substantially benefit from a valid use of the Internet.

The set of characters admitted in the requests for .it registration has been extended: the IDN (Internationalized Domain Names) includes the 24 official languages of the European Union. With this new feature, the characters admitted for the registration of an .it domain are made up of all the characters belonging to the charsets (editor’s note: codes) Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended-B, Greek, Greek Extended and Cyrillic. Not accepted are domain names that contain characters belonging to different charsets (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic), excluding of course the suffix “.it” and names and domains belonging to the geographic tree map.

Over the course of 2014 two new DNS anycast nodes of the Registry were activated, one at the Internet eXchange point of Stockholm, Netnod, and the other at the Internet eXchange point of Frankfurt, DE-CIX. Another two new nodes are being activated at AMSIX (Amsterdam) and at LINX (London).

The maximum period of remaining in the pending Transfer has been reduced from 3 calendar days to one, so as to reduce any inconvenience linked to “non-visibility” over the net for domains subject to modifications by the Registrar.

So as to render the identification of the registering name of a domain more immediate, whether a physical or juridical person, the name field of the registrant subject has been eliminated from the public “Who is”. The Registrant of an .it name is in fact identified by the org field. Analogously, so as to rationalise the output of the Who Is service, limiting it to the fields entered by the user, the contactID has been eliminated, which together with the name field remains available to the Registrar (with domain info).

The new .it Quarter is out! We tell you the last 4 months of 2014: a lot of news and facts in a new guise, more colored and simple, in its contents and layout. Enjoy it!

Rain-Ng has new functions: it integrates Registry documents, news and training courses, and with a user management system that allows the Registrar to define new roles for access to the portal and differentiate among them both for information they can view and the operations they can perform, on the basis of specific defined groups. Information relative to .it names can now be exported by type. The search for domains inside invoices is also new, together with the management of credit card transactions.
