Ok! Do they have some sort of local presence service?
As far as I can tell, one needs to reside in EU as well as the company if the domain is owned by the company itself. A way to avoid this seems to be registering the domain in my own(or another EU-citizens) name, while using it for company purposes. I suppose I could officially just rent the domain to the company..
Web-solutions.dk:
Only companys and individuals within the EU are allowed registration. Web Solutions can act as proxy registrant for those clients which have no presense within the EU.
This is what the owner of a .it domain I'm buying is saying:
About .IT domain names I confirm that there is a restriction:
only individual and juridical persons residing in or belonging to a EU Member State (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Esthonia, Finland, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden) can register domain names under the ccTLD "it".
IMPORTANT: please, note the phrase "...persons residing in or belonging to a EU Member State".
The trick is to register the .IT domain names as an individual person (if you reside in Europe) so you can set up your headquarter extra-EU but you can simply manage the domain name without any kind of problems.
Since I live in EU, I register all my .IT domain name as individual person so I'm free to operate all around the world.
Different if you are OBLIGED to register a .IT domain name to your company located outside EU, in this case you have really to switch to Malta or UK.
Is this true? With extra-EU I guess he means company outside EU, as this is the case with my company. Eventhough I'm a Danish citizen myself.
