.il is in the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Israel. It is administered by the Israel Internet Association, which hosts the DNS Root Server and manages the Israel Internet Exchange (IIX), that supports IPv4 & IPv6.[1][2]

The .il top-level domain is one of the earliest registered ccTLDs. When Israel registered it, on 24 October 1985,[1] it was the third registration of any ccTLD, after .us[3] and .uk,[4] which were registered earlier that year.

As of 10 June 2014 there are 227,066 domain names registered unter the .il ccTLD in Israel.[2]

Israel is still in the process of getting an internationalized top-level domain, ישראל.‎.[5]

Second level domains

There are eight Second Level Domains:[6]

  • ac.il: Academic Institutions; administration delegated to the Inter-University Computation Center.
  • co.il: Commercial Entities; administration delegated to five private registrars.
  • org.il: Non-commercial Organizations; administration delegated to five private registrars.
  • net.il: Israeli Internet service providers; available only to licensed providers by the Israel Internet Association.
  • k12.il: Schools and Kindergartens
  • gov.il: Government and Governmental System; administration delegated to ministry of finance.
  • muni.il: Municipal Government
  • idf.il: Israel Defense Forces; administration delegated to the army's Center of Computing and Information Systems.

Registration of other second-level domain names directly under .il is not supported.

Hebrew third level domains such as האינטרנט.org.il are available since 2010.[7]
