.il is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Israel, administered by the Israel Internet Association and managed by NIC - ISRAEL[permanent dead link], which hosts the DNS root server and manages the Israeli Internet Exchange, that supports IPv4 and IPv6.[3][4]
The .il top-level domain is one of the earliest registered ccTLDs. When Israel registered it, on 24 October 1985,[3] it was the third registration of any ccTLD, 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 .il ccTLD in Israel.[1]
