AN ITALIAN DOMAIN, FROM ABROAD

Buying a .it domain from outside Italy?

You do not necessarily need to live in Italy to choose a .it address. Check the registrant requirements first, then search for a name for your Italy-focused project. Use ITDomain in English or Italian.

.it · €8.99 total price for year one

Search does not reserve the name. The domain is assigned after registration is accepted.

Who can register a .it domain outside Italy

Registro .it permits registration by adults with citizenship, residence or an establishment in the European Economic Area, the UK, Switzerland, San Marino or Vatican City. The applicable conditions depend on the holder type. A company cannot automatically substitute a representative’s personal citizenship for its own establishment requirement.

Spain is within the European Economic Area. A person resident in Spain or a business established there can therefore meet the requirements when its details and other conditions are correct. Do not invent an Italian address: use the real registrant’s address and applicable identifiers.

Cases that need review before payment

Registry eligibility and a reseller’s automated checkout coverage are separate checks. ITDomain checkout handles individuals and companies with addresses in supported countries. Sole traders, self-employed applicants and citizenship-only applications with residence outside the supported area need support review before payment.

For example, an Italian citizen living in the United States may meet a registry requirement but should request case review before proceeding on ITDomain. Use a support ticket or support@itdomain.it. Do not send passwords or identity-document copies in a general message.

How to buy and manage the domain remotely

Search for the .it name and check the total for your chosen term. Sign in with the email you will use for the registrant, complete the required details and review the .it form. Keep the copy sent by ITDomain. Search does not reserve the name, and payment does not replace acceptance of the registration request.

Once active, connect a website hosted by your preferred supplier and choose an email service for the project. Edit DNS in your account with managed nameservers, or at your chosen external DNS supplier. ITDomain support is available through email or tickets when you are outside Italy too.

Before you buy

Can I register a .it domain from Spain?

Yes, when the holder and supplied details meet registry rules. Residence or establishment in Spain can satisfy the territorial requirement. Check the holder type and required identifiers before payment.

Do I need Italian website hosting?

No. Domain registration is separate from hosting. Connect an external service using correctly configured DNS; the .it registry’s technical requirements still apply.
