Why it’s important to register a domain.
The first step to bring your web presence to life is choosing the domain for your website.
The domain name is the address that lets visitors reach your website, just like your home address. Owning a domain is necessary to protect your business name online too.
Choosing the domain name is up to you and depends on the type of business you want to promote on the internet. What you should think about before registering a domain is your address extension and the domain name.
For example, if you’re thinking of starting a personal blog, you could choose to use your first and last name, or if you want to create a website for your shop you should hurry to register your business domain name online.
The registered domain and the website will be yours after purchase!
And that’s exactly what makes them different from simply sharing content on social media.
The website and the domain name will truly be yours, and only you will be able to control them.
What is a domain extension?
The web address is made up of three elements, let’s take the domain www.flazio.it as an example:
- www: literally an acronym for World Wide Web: it’s a conventional suffix, automatically generated, that lets you browse and use all accessible internet services;
- flazio: it’s the domain name that comes before the domain extension. It can also be numeric and is used to identify a website and make it reachable. It also helps you understand what the website is about and describe a project. It is also mistakenly identified as a top-level domain since the top level is determined by the extension, while the name belongs to the second level of the domain;
- .it: this is the domain extension, defined as top-level. In this case .it is a national extension, i.e. ccTLD (Country Code top-level domains) but it can also be generic, i.e. gTLD (Generic top-level domain), which includes extensions .com, .net, .org, etc.
Each domain name is unique on the web, and that’s why choosing the right extension is essential to help visitors immediately understand who you are!
Show your Italian passion with a .IT domain
The .it domain was introduced in 1987 by the CNR and indicates Italy’s geographic extension. There are several million domains registered online and .it is the most searched extension by Italians, but not only.
Register a “Made in Italy” domain name
Italy is known worldwide for two main features: quality and beauty!
If you have a business in the country or an accommodation facility, then the .it domain is what you need to associate your product with the quality and beauty of the Bel Paese.
The .it domain is searched more by Italian users, so by choosing a domain with this extension you will increase the credibility of your business and your products. With a .it domain you will have already won over your potential customers who want to rely on an exclusively Italian product. Finally, a .it domain is more likely to rank on Italian search pages (SERP).
As said before, the .it domain is not only the most searched by Italians but also by tourists planning their trips to Italy.
As we know, the beauty, style and culture of our country are the factors that influence the choice of destinations and make Italy the second most popular destination in the European Union. So if you have a tourism business, all you have to do is register your .it domain and let the whole world know that your business is located in one of Italy’s wonderful places.
How to register a .it domain
Before registering a .it domain you need to know some restrictions:
- A .it domain can be registered by all Italian or European citizens if of legal age, and by anyone who has citizenship, residence or headquarters in the countries of the European Economic Area, in Vatican City, in the Republic of San Marino and in the Swiss Confederation;
- You can register an unlimited number of .it domains;
- A .it domain name can contain all letters from A to Z and all numbers from 0 to 9. It cannot contain special characters except the “-” symbol, but not at the beginning or the end. It also cannot start with the character sequence “xn”;
- A .it domain must be at least 3 characters and at most 63;
- The dot character ( . ) determines the domain level, so it’s not recommended to use it as a separator in the domain name. In fact a name like mario.rossi.it, would indicate that mario is a subdomain of rossi.it.
