registries .IL Registry now supports 5 Year registration of Domain Names

[Lox]

The new rules will eliminate the need to renew domain names annually or biannually, reducing the risk of losing ownership of the domain

ISOC-IL revises domain name registration rules. As of January 1, 2020, domain names of websites and online services active in Israel can be registered and renewed for an extended period of up to five years – instead of two years allowed today. The upcoming extension benefits Israeli domain name holders, minimizing the chance of losing the rights to the domain name.

A domain name is the web address, aka URL, the user types in their browser when accessing websites and online services (for example, isoc.org.il or gmail.com). Because the domain name is a principal part of an organization’s digital identity, it usually features the name of the company, brand, or service. Domain names have a suffix that helps determine the website’s category or sector, as well as the country associated with the URL. ISOC-IL is responsible for allocating domains under the Israeli country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) .il, including co.il, org.il, gov.il, etc.

As of March 10, the Israeli domain name registry managed by ISOC-IL holds close to 250,000 .il domain names.

Yep. The problem is that co.il costs around $18. And if you want to transfer ownership, it costs around $90 to do so! You can still transfer domains for free, but in order to change the owner details ( name, address, phone ) you need to pay.

Domaining barely exists in the Israeli market.
