.il
is 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, Template:Rtl-lang
