Learn about the guidelines and features of .it domains.

You can register, transfer, or connect domains ending in .it to Squarespace. These domains are a great option if you have a business or professional presence in Italy.

The .it country code top-level domain (ccTLD) follows different rules than most other TLDs we offer. This guide covers certain special requirements and exceptions from Squarespace and the relevant organization that oversees .it domain registration. To learn more about these requirements and exceptions, visit TLD registry policies.

To find a domain's price, you can search for it on our domain name search page or in your domains dashboard.

TLD features

Browse the table below to learn about the unique features and rules of registering or transferring a domain ending in .it. If you connect a .it domain to your site from a third-party provider, these guidelines don’t apply.

Feature	Rules
Domain locking	These domains can't be locked.
Expired domains	These domains have a 15-day expiration grace-period. If your domain expires, we’re not able to renew it for you. Expired domains return to their registrar (Tucows) and are held for 30 days in a redemption period. You can contact Tucows to renew it during that period.
Five-day registration grace period	There’s no five-day grace period to cancel these domains and no refunds. Before registering the domain, ensure you want to keep it. Double-check the domain for typos.
Free domain offer	You can use the free domain offer when registering or transferring these domains.
Nameservers	It’s not possible to edit nameservers. Note that for most actions, you don’t need to edit a domain’s nameservers and can instead use custom DNS records.
Residency requirement	You must enter a mailing address for one of these locations to register or transfer a .it domain: A member nation of the European Economic Area The republic of San Marino The Swiss Confederation The United Kingdom Vatican City
Transferring to Squarespace	Transferring these domains to Squarespace gives you one new year of registration, but won’t carry over any remaining time from your previous provider. The renewal date for your domain changes to be the day your transfer completes.
