About .it Domain Names

The .it country-code top-level domain name (ccTLD) is an extension that represents Italy.

Domain names can be up to 63 characters, with a minimum of two characters, and can contain letters (a to z), numbers (0 to 9), and hyphens (except at the beginning or end of the domain name). You cannot register domain names with special characters such as & and #.

You cannot register .it domain names explicitly for resale. However, they can be sold and transferred.

¹ Renewal restrictions

You can renew your .it domain name within six months of its expiration date. You must, however, renew it before its expiration date. The renewal date depends on whether you auto-renew or manually renew the domain name. We attempt auto-renewal on the first day of the month prior to the domain name's expiration date.

If the renewal attempt fails, we re-attempt renewal on the 10th of the month and again on the 20th of the month. If we cannot auto-renew the domain name and you do not manually renew it by the 20th of the month prior to the expiration date, you can attempt to recover it, and there might be a fee to do so.

For example: Your .it domain name expires on October 10. If your domain name does not renew automatically, you can renew it manually by September 20. For automatic renewals, we attempt to renew the domain name on September 1, September 10, and September 20.

² Transfers away requirements

Please contact customer support to request an authorization code for .it domain transfers away.

³ Contact updates requirements

Please contact our support team to update the registrant contact information associated with your .it domain name. You can update all other contact information through your Domain Manager.
