.ilis the Internetcountry codetop-level domain(ccTLD) ofIsrael,administered by theIsrael Internet Associationand managed byNIC - ISRAEL[permanent dead link],which hosts theDNS root serverand manages theIsraeli Internet Exchange,that supportsIPv4andIPv6.[3][4]
The.iltop-level domain is one of the earliest registeredccTLDs.When Israel registered it, on 24 October 1985,[3]it was the third registration of anyccTLD,after.us[5]and.uk,[6]which were registered earlier that year.
As of 19 August 2023 there are 285,060 domain names registered under the.ilccTLDin Israel.[1]
Top-level domains in Hebrew script[edit]
On 19 May 2020, ICANN approved the use of theישראל. domain,[7][8]that was proposed in 2012.[9]It was delegated on 11 February 2021, and since 22 November 2022 it is possible to register domain names in fullHebrew script.[10]
Unlike the structure of.il, domain names registered under ישראל. may be either directly at second-level (for example:איגוד-האינטרנט.ישראל) or at third-level under one of these second-level domains:[11]
אקדמיה.ישראל.:Academic institutions; equivalent to.ac.il.ממשל.ישראל.:Government and Governmental System; equivalent to.gov.il.צהל.ישראל.:Israel Defense Forces;equivalent to.idf.il.ישוב.ישראל.:Municipal Government; equivalent to.muni.il.
There will not be a Hebrew-script equivalent to these second-level domains:
.co.il.org.il.k12.il.net.il
As a more private initiative the top-level domain.קום( "com" ) was registered byVeriSignin 2016. It has as of 2020 many thousand second-level domains, mostly in Hebrew script, some in Latin script.
Second-level domains[edit]
Domain names ending with.il will always be in the third level under one of these second-level domains:[12]
.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:IsraeliInternet 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 toMinistry of Finance..muni.il:Municipal Government.idf.il:Israel Defense Forces; administration delegated to the army'sCenter of Computing and Information Systems.
Registration of other second-level domain names directly under.il is not supported.
Hebrew third level domains such asאיגוד-האינטרנט.org.ilare available since 2010.[13]
