1990
Creation of the RCCN (National Network of the Scientific Community)
Around 1990 university teachers and researchers combined their efforts with FCCN, to create a network that would make available, along the country, the computational resources.
The FCCN network increased thus its scope and was designated RCCN (National Network of the Scientific Community). Since 1990 and as a result of the joint technical efforts the IP Forum and the implementation the network by FCCN, the national research and higher education community has contributed to create the Portuguese Internet.

1992
The ISOC was created
In this year ISOC - Internet Society is born, created by around 400 persons related to the Internet, whose initial purpose was to promote the use of the Internet. Currently it has about 55000 members, 90 chapters and 130 associated organizations, with the mission to promote and develop the open use of the Internet for the benefit of the world population.
It holds forums to discuss technical and operational issues in order to provide mechanisms, by which anyone interested, can be informed about the function, use and operation of the Internet.

An on-line information system is implemented
In 2000, considering that the registration and procedures were not yet clearly defined, a new and specific information system was developed for domain registration and commercial management of the business.
Procedures are created, «harmonized with the regulation in use. For the first time the delegation is made automatically, ceasing to be a manual procedure.

2001
Registrar figure
The Registrar (agent of registration) figure of the DNS.PT was created in 2001. These are entities that specialize in the registration and management of domain names.
The first 3 registration agents were: VIA NET.WORKS Portugal; TELEPAC II Comunicações Interativas SA; ONI SOLUTIONS - Infocomunicações SA.
The mission of these agents is to simplify the registration process and/or to obtain a complete service that includes hosting and e-mail accounts.

Classifying domains are created
In this year several classifiers are created under .pt, in order to facilitate and accommodate the registrations by activity and target public.
These are the classifiers created : .org.pt, .publ.pt, .gov.pt, .net.pt, .nome.pt, .int.pt, .edu.pt, .com.pt (this last one without restrictions to registration, making more flexible the access to a domain name registration, which came to pass, this classifier became first choice after the registration directly under .pt).
