What does this mean

[Hosted-Inside]

Special requirements for registering .IT names

The Registrant contact must reside in a EU country. The DNS must be valid for this specific country. If you are unsure please use our default DNS.

I know that you must live in EU but i dont know whats the meaning of that DNS part any help?

They probably don't want the DNS for the domain pointing to an IP Address outside of the EU. In short, the server the domain is hosted on must reside in the EU.

Yes, that is what it means. He is right. Are you trying to use it outside of the EU? Perhaps contact the domain registrar then, and get a definite answer on your particular use.

The Registrant contact must reside in a EU country. The DNS must be valid for this specific country.

From the words could be interpreted more strictly as DNS mus be in registrants country (in EU obviously). You need to get serious clarification from the controlling authority.

Here are their actual terms:

It does not say that a the DNS must point to a host in the EU. It does say that they can annul your registration if the domain is not visible for more than three months or your name servers are non-functioning:

11.2 Official annulment
The Registry officially annuls the assignment of a domain name in the following
cases:
· shortcoming of the objective and subjective elements which have determined the assignment
of a domain in the ccTLD "it", where expected;
· failure to present the documents requested by the Registry according to article 13.3 below;
· failure to present the documents requested by the Registry according to article 3.2 of the
“Technical Registration Procedures”;
· the non "visibility/accessibility", for more than 3 months, of the objects belonging to the
assigned domain name (or the non functioning of the authoritative name serves given into
the technical registration form deposited into the ANR or their misconfiguration accordingly
to section 1.4 of the “Technical Registration Procedures” or the unreachability of the e-mail
address "postmaster@<registered domain name>.it"). The verification of the missing
visibility/accessibility shall be technically made by Registry, by default or upon a third party
written request. In this case the domain name cannot be reassigned to other individuals or
organisations for one month from the annulment date.
· violation of the last paragraph in section 7 of the present Rules.
