The .it extension is Italy’s country code top-level domain, administered by Registro.it (the IT Institute of the Italian National Research Council, CNR-IIT). The first .it domain names were registered in 1987.

The popularity of .it domain names has grown steadily over the years, and there are now more than 3 million registered .it domain names, making it one of the largest European ccTLD extensions.

New domain registration

The registration of .it domains is an automated process, so registration is virtually instantaneous; you can start using your new domain name within a few minutes of placing your order.

Domain transfer

To transfer your existing .it domain name to us, you will need to disable the transfer lock with your current registrar and obtain the authorisation (Auth) code for the domain. The transfer process usually takes a few days.
