.NU Domain offers its registrars the new standard Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) and is going to cut costs for domain names.

.NU ccTLD offers its registrars the new standard Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP). The implementation of this standard provides registrars the ability to use a single interface for all TLD registries and streamlines integration processes, thus reducing registrars’ costs. The Internet organization ICANN, which oversees the Internet’s domain name system, now requires all generic top domains, such as .COM, .NET, .ORG, to adapt to EPP.

Previously, there were no recognized standards for the systems that web page resellers and registrars use for their interaction with top level domain systems. The standards body, Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), finalized a new protocol, Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) for top domains in March 2004. ICANN now requires all generic (non-geographic or country code) top level domains to adopt EPP. Generic top level domains .ORG, .INFO and .BIZ already have the protocol in use (Domain Times wrote about EPP implementation in .ORG TLD), while .COM and .NET have started to adapt.
