Italian Domains?

[ForSaleSign]

Do you think its worth registering some Italian names?
Is there a big enough market, as i've not seen any sell on Sedo.

Because you cannot reg a .it if you are not a resident of Italia. And the transfer might be difficult.
I tried twice and my names were taken by the registrar twice and I got refund twice.
Maybe someone can tell how to reg a .it, for international domainers, of coz.

www.winvista.it should be mine if I made it. %%-

I've considered it a couple of times, but just for fun when making bnc'ers The market for .it domains is almost non-existent ouside Italy itself..

How about italian words on .com's?

This is not true. It says even on Italy's NIC website, that members of the European Union can register domain names under the .it namespace.

4. Registration
Domain names with the ccTLD ".it" can be only assigned to individuals or ogranisations belonging to a European Union (EU) member state.

On another note:
Have you tried NameCheap? They have great prices on .it

Also, the member here -JDT- is a resident of Italy and has some .it domains. You might want to speak with him about the registration process.

Best of luck with your Italian endeavour

Thanks for you help stscac, and all the posters!

I see, so that's because I am in US. sigh...
But i didn't find .it is available at namecheap. Would you give me the url? Thank you.

That is really strange. ".it" used to be at NameCheap.

Well, I guess its not anymore, maybe nic - it had too many problems with them.

You can register .it via Tucows.
EU presence requirements: natural person or company.

The process is bureaucratic and takes a few days with letter of assumption of responsability - LAR (in Italian) to be faxed. I've done it once.
The good thing is that the TLD is reasonably priced and the '.it' suffix allows interesting expressions :imho:

If there are some good ones avilable then go for it.

Correction:

It is Registerfly that had the .it domain names.

check out the pricing list:

Seems like a very good deal to me

If you're a resident of a EU member state

You should register some good ones, like stephenkings.it and does.it Lol, You can get some pretty funny stuff outta .it

Steve,

I believe registerfly is a Tucows reseller for .it (perhaps for .at .de too). So I guess you could bypass them.

I don't see any prices at Tucows, I've never actually had any experience with their OpenSRS system.

What are the prices for .it.

It seems like a big hassle to do through Tucows:

Thanks again, Registerfly looks good, cheaper than 1&1 for .coms too!

I dont think they look for IP Location. Personally i think they take the Credit Card information and if your not fro it you cant register a (dot)it.

Hope that helps.

Thanks again people, I actually registed some .tv names using registerfly!!
I'm hanging fire on the .it idea for a while, as a lot of the names i had in mind are taken (i've ordered the Italian dictionary though, so who knows !!)

Got a few .tv names, I think it seems to have more potential!
