About the .ROMA new gTLD

The city of Rome, once the centre of the Roman Empire and now the keeper of an invaluable artistic heritage and a landmark destination for millions of tourists, deserves its own Internet address. For years the .roma team has been working hard at bringing .roma to life and letting Romans — people, businesses, associations and institutions — get a .roma domain name to use for email and web addresses. Rome joins Barcelona, Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, London, Moscow New York, Paris and other cities hoping to realize their goal of bringing their city names to the Internet.

A .roma domain name will benefit several parties, for example:

• Roman citizens: with the introduction of .roma domain names, Romans and any individual with a connection to Rome will have the possibility of registering their own .roma domain name, such as MarioRossi.roma. A .roma TLD will be the link between Romans and the world, uniting and identifying everyone who cares about Rome.
• Roman businesses: with a .roma domain name, companies based in Rome or with a branch in the Eternal City will have a quick way to connect directly with their Roman customers. Rome-based companies could register their .roma domain, such as CaffeSantEustachio.roma to distinguish themselves as Rome-based companies and potentially receive a boost in their search engine listing when an Internet user searches for a similar term in Rome. Large companies will be able to provide a direct link to their local branches (i.e. bnl.roma, ikea.roma) providing more logical services as well as offering an easier way for customers to access their local website.
• The City of Rome: a .roma TLD will devote a significant portion of revenues from the sale of .roma domain names to the City of Rome, creating a positive revenue stream for the city.
• Everyone: creating Rome-based portals using .roma domain names will make city life easier for anyone. Looking for a nice restaurant? Ristoranti.roma will suggest one and show you the menu. Need information about today's city traffic or weather? Traffic.roma and Weather.roma could become invaluable tools. Want to travel to Rome? Hotel.roma will list city hotels for you along with customers' reviews.
