.SE & .NU removing forms requirement on transfers and registrant changes.

Posted on 31 January 2020

Last year in the new Registry-Registrar agreement the Swedish registry has made “everyday life easier” by lifting the required transfer form that needed to be filled in when transferring a domain / changing a registrant.

Due to this from February 3rd onward no more manual work is needed with a .SE/NU transfer and every change will have a digital timestamp. The implications and changes in behavior compared to the current situation that you may be used to are:

  •  Domain update with registrant change is not charged anymore.
  • No more registrant change form/mail.
  • External & internal transfers will no longer keep …

Nic IT and consent for publishing data?

Posted on 2 May 2019

The Italian registry has made some changes to their production system and in my opinion, it is not an improvement.

  • Natural persons Italian and EU based
  • Freelance workers/professionals (Italian based)
  • Italian Companies/one-man companies (Italian based)
  •  Public organizations (Italian based)
  •  Non-profit organizations(Italian based)
  •  Foreign companies/organizations matching 2-6 (EU based)

Brexit & Domain Names, recipe for Chaos?

Posted on 21 January 2019

The short answer is no, depending on the scenario.

While there are many Brexit experts, their views and opinions are not helping when it comes to making business decisions. When it comes to predictions, it might be even better to check the British bookmakers and get a sense of the betting odds if there will be a Brexit or not.

 

However, we can make a few assumptions when it comes to domain names and the Brexit, let us assume the worst scenario; hard Brexit, as in no deal.

The issue
In case of a, no deal Brexit currently slated …

Brexit, and the impact on .EU domain names, sound the alarm?

Update 04-01-2019

The British government issued further guidance regarding the Brexit and Eurid.

Update 05-11-2018

It seems very likely the two scenarios posted below are the most likely outcome as we quickly move towards the deadline of 29th of March 2019.

(1) If the UK exits the EU and becomes a temporary member of the European Economic Area (EEA) there will be no issue until the duration of such membership.

(2) If however, it turns out to be a “hard Brexit” or “no deal Brexit” than registrars are no longer in a …

Registration changes for .ES and new contractual obligations for our resellers.

Posted on 16 July 2018

And it is not going to get easier for sure.

At the moment we run a validation process, this process also makes sure that there is a registration contract between Realtime Register, Esnic and the registrant, as required by the registry. An easy process for you as a reseller.

However, with the GDPR and some local laws in Spain which go beyond the original purpose of domain name registrations, the contractual requirements for the registrant and reseller increased in such a manner that we are no longer in a position to create such contracts for our resellers in a one …

When pigs can fly…

Posted on 20 July 2015

Ever wondered why the mascot of .CO is a piggy with wings?

.CO is more than just an ending for your URLIt all started in 2009, when the Colombian government issued a bid for the country code domain extension .CO. Juan Diego Calle, co founder, and former CEO of .CO Internet SAS, realized how hard it became to get a good short dot com domain name. Remember, it was 2009, and all the new TLDs were not even a blip on the internet radar. He had a ‘light bulb moment’ realizing that Colombia’s ccTLD could also mean “company”.

This was the base of their successful entry strategy, positioning …

It is the ninth most populous country in the world, and its vast, unequalled landmass has boggled minds for centuries. Russia has always been a force to be reckoned with, and offers an interesting entrepreneurial potential. Yet only a handful of registrars worldwide has access to over 146 million potential Russian internet users. Therefore, we are quite proud to announce that we now meet all the requirements, and may call ourselves your official .RU registrar!

This limitedness is hardly surprising, considering the .RU registry’s strict demands. If you want to access …
