Registration of the domain .me takes off: Register.it is the only accredited Italian registrar for this domain
 
 With the addition of the new domain .me, Register.it extends its current offer to 185 extensions

Florence, July 17, 2008 - Register.it, a Dada Group company offering internet services aimed at developing the online presence of professionals and businesses, now offers Italian clients the possibly to register their domain in the extension .me, thanks to direct agreements with the Montenegrin Authority, owner of the domain extension.

Today the Montenegrin Authority officially opened registration to the public, through accredited Registrars. Registration will take place on a first come, first served basis. The word combinations that this extension can have in Italian, English and Spanish are almost infinite: for example in the e-commerce sector "read.me", "buy.me", "click.me" just to name a few.

The domain .me was originally assigned to Montenegro. However, in light of the numerous implications linked to this particular extension, the Montenegrin Government agreed to liberalize it. Companies with trademarks registered before June 26, 2006 and people who already had a .yu domain extension (.yu Yugoslavian domains were converted into .me) were given the chance to register in the preliminary registration phase. The second phase, called the Land Rush, allowed anyone to reserve a generic domain name. Assignment of .me domains begins at 4:00pm today in Italy, open to anyone who puts in a request. In the pre-registration phase for .me there were more than 30,000 requests put in to the Authority.

Register.it offers a completely automated procedure for the registration of .me domains. Registered domains can be managed directly through a control panel, where the user will find all necessary tools for the management, creation and promotion of his/her website.

Registration of the domain .me will also be available in Spain and the UK through Nominalia and Namesco, companies acquired by Dada. Together with Register.it, Nominalia and Namesco are part of the international business unit DadaPro, a leader in Europe in the provision of professional online services.
