.IT Domains

Established in 1987, Italy’s dot IT country-specific top-level domain name extension is quite popular both locally and in the English-speaking world. The reason is that the domain is a pronoun, which can be used for forming inventive and appealing domain names – write.it, youcanmake.it and so on. This is a way to have an easy-to-remember domain name, so that it will be easier for your visitors to go back to your website or to share it with associates and fellows. The domain extension can also be used for a website, which is linked to the technology sector having in mind that IT is an abbreviation, which is well-known all over the world.

Taking into account that .IT domains are not offered directly by IT-NIC, the Registry that controls this top-level domain extension, such a domain can be obtained through a third-party company, such as ours. We will handle the registration process for you and take care of submitting your application to the Registry. You can book a dot IT domain for a one-year period at a time, and the domains are transferable, so you can move your existing domain over to us and we will renew it the minute the transfer has been completed. The only restriction is that the person reserving such a domain must be located in a country, which is a member of the European Union.

Due to the fact that there are existing 2nd-level Domains that include names of different territories and localities in Italy reserved for local 3rd-level registrations, new names that include geographical areas of any sort are not allowed on any level to avoid any future confusion. We do not offer such 3rd-level domains, though, considering that they can be registered only by locals.
