New SWITCH website for Internet Domains

Zurich (ots)

As of 1 October 2005, it will be even easier than
before to register a domain name via the internet. SWITCH, the
registry for domain names ending in .ch and .li, has redesigned the
"Internet Domains" section of its website in response to changing
customer needs. Users will benefit not only from the new design but
also from optimised processes and functions. The launch of this new
website zone necessitates a service interruption between 7.00 and
approximately 14.00 on 1 October 2005. During this time, it will not
be possible to register or delete domain names, submit requests or
conduct WHOIS enquiries. The service interruption does not affect the
accessibility of websites.
Intuitive and practical user guidance
In order to provide the best response to customer needs, those in
charge at SWITCH clarified user requirements beforehand, together
with a range of external experts, and channelled these into the
design of the software. Customers can now register a domain name for
themselves in four simple steps. Explanations and help can be
obtained by clicking on specially marked information and
question-mark buttons. And, as of now, each customer has an account
for administering their domain names and other data.
Administration of domain names: Login necessary
With the exception of new registrations, user may only submit
requests after logging in. A shopping basket has also been
incorporated in the registration process, making it possible to
search for different variants on a domain name. This also allows
several domain names to be registered at once.
Reduced charge for registration
SWITCH is hoping to receive as much feedback as possible on its
new "Internet Domains" web pages. Customers can thus register domain
names at a reduced rate on Saturday, 1 October and Sunday, 2 October
if they send their feedback on the new application to SWITCH by
e-mail at  feedback@switch.ch. Anyone registering one or more domain
names with the new registration application on one of these two days,
will receive REKA cheques for a value of CHF 40.- per domain name
from SWITCH, equivalent to the registration fee, once they have paid
the bill.
The SWITCH Foundation has operated the Swiss Education & Research
Network for 18 years, which guarantees the universities access to the
information society. The high-performance network links users in
Switzerland with each other, with Europe, and with countries
overseas. Operating the Swiss Education & Research Network gives
SWITCH the necessary know-how and provides the technological basis
for operating the registry for domain names ending in .ch and .li.
