.it is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Italy.

Because it is also the english word it, it is commonly used in the construction of domain hack domain names.

There are a number of reserved second-level domain names, for example domain names like italy.it or other names that are referring to geographical regions of Italy. Two addresses are only assignable to state institutions:

• gov.it
• governo.it

However, both addresses are rarely used.
