FAQ - Domain names .It

What are the explanations for domain names with the .it extension?

The .it extension is reserved for websites registered in Italy or with a link to the country. It is managed by the NIC.it register, which ensures that domain names comply with the rules and laws in force in Italy. Italian companies can therefore reinforce their national identity by using this extension in their web address. What's more, .it domain names are often perceived as more reliable and legitimate by Italian users.

How do I choose the perfect .it domain name for my web project?

Our advice for choosing the perfect domain name with the .it extension for your web project is to choose a name that is easy to remember, matches the identity of your company or project, and is also available for registration. It is also important to check that the name you choose does not infringe the intellectual property rights of other companies or brands. Finally, it is advisable to opt for a short, clear domain name, to make it easier to remember and access your website.

What other similar and complementary domain extensions are there as alternatives to .it?

Among the many domain extensions available, linked to and complementary to the .it extension (Italy), here are 5 extensions that can be considered interesting alternatives:
1. .fr - This extension is the natural choice for entities wishing to target the French market or companies based in France, offering a similar European alternative to .it for Italy.
2. .es - Similarly, the .es extension is dedicated to Spain. It is particularly relevant for businesses or individuals looking to establish an online presence in Spanish-speaking countries or targeting the Spanish market.
3. .de - Representing Germany, .de is one of the most popular national extensions in Europe. It is a great alternative for those looking to anchor themselves in the German market or expand their reach in Europe.
4. .eu - The .eu extension is transnational, representing the European Union as a whole. It is ideal for organisations or businesses wishing to highlight their presence or commitment at a European level, not just limited to a single country such as Italy.
5. .co.uk - Although specifically British, the .co.uk extension is widely recognised and could be a relevant option for those looking to extend their visibility in the UK, particularly in a post-Brexit context where marking your local presence can have added importance. These alternatives each offer a specific geographical or cultural anchor, just as .it does for Italy, allowing clear and relevant identification with the target market.

What is a domain name?

The domain name is the address of a website. The domain allows users to easily find your site on search engines. It consists of a series of letters and/or numbers, separated or not by a hyphen.

In general, your domain is the name of your company, brand, or product. It's the identity of your business on the web.

A domain name consists of three parts, for example for the site www.mysite.com:

  • www.: The subdomain is flexible, you can create several subdomains to redirect to different parts of your site, for example contact.mysite.com, shop.mysite.com, etc.
  • mysite: The second-level domain (SLD) is the name of your site, company, brand, blog... Like the subdomain, this part is 100% customizable to perfectly match your business.
  • .com.fr .net .org .info .site .xyz .fun...: The top-level domain (TLD) completes your identity and contributes to your online visibility. The choice of a domain extension can influence your site's ranking on search engines. Adapt to your target audience. If you target a specific country, choose a domain extension related to that country (.fr .be .lu .eu .paris .jp...)

How to choose your domain name?

The first thing to do when you start creating a website or online store is to choose a domain name. We recommend choosing a domain name that matches these criteria as closely as possible:

  • Simple to write and easy to remember
  • Clear, descriptive, impactful, or evocative of your business
  • Helps your SEO: with keywords
  • With an extension suited to your target country (.fr for France, .be for Belgium, .ch for Switzerland, .lu for Luxembourg, etc.)
  • Find an available domain name with our domain search tool
  • Discover all our domain extensions (over 800)
  • WHOIS: tool to check who owns a domain name and its DNS servers

Made your choice? Whatever domain name you choose, LWS gives you all the tools you need to build your online presence.

What if my .It domain name is not available?

Want a domain name that's already registered? LWS offers hundreds of other extensions. Enter a similar domain name or an alternative extension that best matches your business.

If you don't want to choose another extension or change your name, contact the current owner of the domain if it's not under Anonymous Whois, which lists contact information, registrar, registration date, expiration date, and update date (if it hasn't been updated for a long time, the owner may not be using it actively). However, GDPR now prevents registrars like LWS from publishing an owner's contact details without their consent if they're not a business. You can still try to contact the owner via their website using your target domain name; most sites have a contact page.

Sometimes, the domain you're looking for is already for sale by its owner. In this case, it's available on the secondary market. Transactions are made directly between seller and buyer or via marketplaces.

How much does a .It domain name cost?

See our domain name prices for current prices and special offers. The price of a domain extension depends on its reputation, rarity, and accessibility.
