A .it domain is the Italian domain name ending, officially the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Italy. Registro .it runs the registry. Businesses, freelancers, and organizations use it when their customers are in Italy. It tells visitors your site is built for an Italian audience before they open it.

You can register a .it domain if you're an adult with citizenship, residence, or a registered office in the EEA, Switzerland, San Marino, Vatican City, or the UK. Registro .it sets these rules, and an eligible person or company can hold as many .it names as they like. Check your details before you search.

You can buy a .it domain right here at HostPapa. Type the name you want into the search box at the top of this page, and we'll tell you if it's available. If it's taken, we'll suggest alternatives. You can also check other endings like .com, then register the names that fit your brand.

Search for your name on this page, add an available .it domain to your cart, and enter your registrant details. Then check out. Once your order is complete, you can manage the domain from your HostPapa Dashboard. If your first choice is taken, try a shorter name or add a word that describes your business.

Besides the eligibility rules, the name itself needs to be 3 to 63 characters long. It can use letters a to z, numbers 0 to 9, and hyphens, but it can't start or end with a hyphen. Registro .it also reserves names that start with xn-- for internationalized domain names, so avoid those.

Yes, you can transfer a .it domain you already own to HostPapa. Unlock the domain with your current provider, request the authorization code, and start the transfer from your HostPapa account. Make sure your registrant details are up to date first, since .it rules require eligible owner information.

A .it domain registration tells visitors and search engines that your site targets Italy. Google's documentation lists a country code domain as a signal for geotargeting. Rankings still depend on your content, links, and site quality, so choose .it for local relevance, not as a shortcut to higher rankings.

Pick an Italian domain name like .it if your customers are mostly in Italy and you want a local web address. Choose .com if you sell worldwide or want the most familiar ending. Many businesses register both, then send visitors to one site. That protects your name and covers local and international shoppers.

Yes, if you live in, hold citizenship in, or run a company registered in an eligible country. That includes the EEA, Switzerland, San Marino, Vatican City, and the UK. If you're outside those places, you can't hold a .it domain, so consider a .com or another ending instead.
