Help - italian web market (some questions)

Hello, I don't speak italian. Can you help me answering some questions.
I'm trying to develop a social network in Italy, but I need some info:

• do Italians love chatting on internet ?
• do Italians use a forum to get some information ?
• do you have a website with public statistics about web traffic ?

Grazie

Hi Owi, let me first translate your request in italian.

Owi sta sviluppando un social network in Italia e chiede se noi italiani amiamo chattare, se usiamo i forum per ricevere informazioni e se esiste un sito con statistiche sul traffico web.

Here I am, Owi. As you can see in Forum GT, we use forums to get informations. Actually we use good forums, specific forums, crowded forums with an active community. So the answer to your question, if we use forums or not, is yes.

Then, you asked if we love chatting. It depends on many factors as the age, the job, the social attitude. Again, if the chat relates to a forum with a strong community, then yes: we love chatting.

Finally, you can check your website traffic statistics using Google Web Analytics.

Grazie Valentina

Could you recommend me a good webhosting from Italy ? Can I register a domain (.it) if don't have Italian citizenship ?

[valentina83]

You're welcome, Owi.

Sure, you can register .it even if you're not italian.

spazioweb.com is ok ?
Or i-domini.it ?

Hi owi, you can read opinions e reviews about italian hoster and domain registrar in our Hosting, Housing e Domini section.
As we ask to reviewers their real name and at least one domain name to avoid self promotions, you can quite trust what you'll read there.
