Can I register a .it domain name for a company outside of Italy?

Question

I've got a domain name that would work nicely with a .it domain name (e.g. redd.it). This is for a web application I'm building, which if it ever generates revenue will be for a company in the US. Is this allowed?

Answer 1

You certainly can

Answer 2

Yes unless there is a specific rule for Italy... There are tons of sites that use other country's domain but is physically located at other country.

Answer 3

This is the corresponding ccTLD page: nic.it. I have went over their rules and, besides several restricted categories, there do not seem do be limitations on registration.

Answer 4

According to their FAQ, you need to have an office within EU.

Answer 6

I was able to register one with Europe Registry. It takes a few days but you can get one. The way it works is they are registered Italian business, and they act as your agent.
