.il

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

As of 19 August 2023 there are 285,060 domain names registered under the .il ccTLD in Israel.

Top-level domains in Hebrew script

On 19 May 2020, ICANN approved the use of the ישראל.‎ domain, that was proposed in 2012. It was delegated on 11 February 2021, and since 22 November 2022 it is possible to register domain names in full Hebrew script.

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:

• 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 by VeriSign in 2016. It has as of 2020 many thousand second-level domains, mostly in Hebrew script, some in Latin script.
