Hi NP!

I have been active for many years on the Italian market domains. If you have questions and technical curiosity, I hope to help you, just ask!

Have you ever invested in the Italian market? Do you have any domain? How many?

Showcase your names if you want!

Great thread, I think .it is a ccTLD that still offers a lot of opportunities for the future and where you can still buy quite cheap compared to similar european ccTLD

 

[paolinope29]

Yeah, I agree..
Many German domainers ste buying italian premiums too!

And they know how invest money..

The .de moves a lot of money.

First time hearing about this extension lol.. seems like i see a new one everyday.. I like it though.

Is this open to everyone to reg?

 

[paolinope29]

First time? It's 20+ years old
Some sales over $100k and it's growing.

What's the liquid type of names in .it? Except the English perfect fit ones like find.it etc.

I am trying to reg a random name and got this message: You must use a fee-based trustee service (we will provide) to proceed. This fee is $19.98 per year of domain registration and will automatically be added.

What is this fee?

Ok I think I figured it out: it's to help with covering the residency issue so non European residents can buy it too.

 

[dsant]

From where are you trying to reg the .it domain?

@rivey001
The fee i think it's a service offered to non-european people. I mean: dot IT is available only for european citizen, but some services allow you to register one, using a kind of "privacy". Try eurodns for this featured

@vivaldi
There aren't a properly liquid categories. Of course premium keys are the best, something like BUSINESS.IT or CALCIO.IT (soccer) are the best. Some english key (like my kitchen.it) are also a great investment, although them are not used in the current talked language (we use "business" of course, but talking of food we say CUCINA, not kitchen).

Italian economic situation is not the best, so in the web too is all quite slow, but it's the time to invest. Many german domainers are buying in Italy

LLL.it are of course quite good, not properly liquid, but easy to sell!

Thanks for sharing, usually my main target are end users and as you intend there might not be many of them locally right now. Should Italy recover anytime soon though now might be a great time to buy decent names. Hard for me to judge how's it going since I'm only there for a few weeks every year now and only speak a little bit of Italian. Just listening to media is hard and biased, easier to judge when in the middle of it all and living the life.
