Not address, "Local presence", which means that you need a company registration number in that country. This means: Just set up a branch and register how many domains you want. If you don't feel like doing that, most registrars offers compliance help, which means they will do nominee domain holding for you, for a slight fee. Since there are no "max amount of domains per company"-rule in .FR, it means they can provide this service at a very low price. But what's most backward with Malta is the manual verification before registration. It's just makes no sense. It's still just as easy to register domains on fake companies, the only thing this step can help with is to protects the brand names for huge companies. These companies already purchase brand name protection services, and since .com.mt's nameservers allows zone transfers, it's very easy for them to monitor the zone for new registrations which might infringe on their clients brands. > _______________________________________________ > MLUG-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://linux.org.mt/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-list > -- Victor Jerlin Acuit Systems Ltd, Malta Cell-#: +356-9999-0125 Skype : victor.jerlin _______________________________________________ MLUG-list mailing list [email protected] http://linux.org.mt/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-list
