Nominet, the UK Domain Registrar yesterday launched its Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) service.
Traditionally Nominet domain name registrars have used the Email Automaton using PGP Encryption to registation. Nominet intend to continue with the Automation service.
This service gives registrars an alternative method of registering and maintaining their portfolio's of .uk domain names.
The main benefits of using EPP are:
1. Responses to commands are generally instant. You can issue a command to register a domain, get a response and then confirm with your customer that this has happened all in real time.
2. Investment in EPP client programming should be transferable when integrating with the EPP service of other registries.
Other global domain registrars have offered an EPP solution for some time.
To connect to Nominet's EPP server registrars are required to register for the service. An EPP testbed will be available to allow registrars to test their EPP implementations.
