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

Because it is also the English word it, and many words end with -it, it is commonly used in the construction of domain hack domain names, for exaple sh.it, sk.it, or sp.it.

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.

* gov.it is the official governmental domain, and its use is increasing rapidly.
* edu.it domain has been investigated, but its proposal was never formalized.
* domains in the form "comune"..."it" and "comune".."it" are reserved to Italian municipalities.
* domains in the form "provincia".."it" are reserved to Italian provinces.
* domains in the form "regione".."it" are reserved to Italian regions.
