Register an Italian .it domain
A website under an Italian .it domain is an important prerequisite if you want to break into the Italian market and be successful. At Abion, you can get help with everything from a preliminary domain consultation to .it domain registration and domain protection.
What is an Italian domain?
An Italian domain refers to Italy's national country domain .it, which is the official top-level domain for Italy. The top-level domain is, like other country domains, specifically intended for companies, organisations, and individuals based in Italy, as well as foreign entities with an interest in the Italian market.
The administrator of Italy's TLD (top-level domain) is IIT - CNR (Istituto di Informatica e Telematica del CNR), and they also define the registration terms that apply to the .it domain.

Registration conditions for the .it domain
Italy's official top-level domain is an open country domain available to businesses and individuals within the EU. Companies do not need to have their headquarters in Italy to purchase a .it domain – the only requirement is that the basic registration conditions are met. These can be read in full at Registro.it, but in short, they mean the following:
- Must contain: 3-63 characters.
- Approved characters: Letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens (-).
In addition to the above, there are also certain technical limitations regarding, among other things, name servers. Furthermore, your desired domain name must of course also be available. The .it domain has been around since the 1980s, which is why many domain names are already taken. Should your desired domain name already be registered by another party, we at Abion can, upon request, assist with inquiries and negotiations to acquire the domain.
