Choose with confidence
Is .it right for your idea?
Decide whether the name reads as a country or a word
The letters can finish an English phrase as well as identify Italy. Read the address to somebody unfamiliar with the project and check that its meaning is clear.
Make the Italian connection useful
For an Italian-facing service, provide relevant language, contact and service information. A country ending does not itself translate the website.

Questions about .it domains
Can a UK applicant qualify?
Yes. The registry’s listed territories include the United Kingdom, subject to the applicable registrant requirements.
Does .it stand for information technology?
Its formal classification is Italy’s country-code domain, even if a brand gives the letters another reading.
Does it include a translated website?
No. Website content and translations are separate.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
