.it in real time - starting 28th September 2009

Synchronous: .it in real time

From 28 September 2009 it will be possible to register .it domain names in real time. The publication of the new Regulations, approved by the Rules Committee on 5 June 2009, is the first step towards the start of the new synchronous registration system. For two years the synchronous system will work alongside the current asynchronous system.

To register, change, or cancel a .it domain simply contact a Registrar who will be able to work directly on the domain database, with no need to send any paper documentation to the Registry.
