  • Payment of initial "prepaid" fee required to start working: 4,000 euros + VAT (1000 transactions). For this payment, the Registry will invoice in advance.

Registration Tariffs

The Registry charges a Registrar 4 euros (plus VAT) for each of the following operations on .it domains and the edu.it domains:

  • Registration.
  • Change of Registrar.
  • Recovery from Redemption-period status.
  • The cost of yearly renewal is 3.30 euros. The cost that is charged corresponds to the annual maintenance fee of the domain.

The fee for registering domain names in the SLD gov.it will be free of charge for the first year. From the second year onwards, it will follow the unitary rate provided for the registration of domain names in the ccTLD.it and in the SLD edu.it.

Accreditation

If you wish to become a Registrar and be able to register and maintain .it domains you have to pass an accreditation test freccia. This test entails performing specific operations, through your own client application, on the Registry's EPP server, and thus prove that you have the necessary technical skills to operate in synchronous mode.

To give you an idea of the test, the Registry provides a simulation platform on which you can test all the operations on domain names. A Registrar may also make use of technical helpdesk support and specific training courses organized by the Registry.
