Check .co.il domain availability

Type a name to see whether its .co.il and .com versions are taken, then read below how registering a co.il domain works.

What is a .co.il domain?

.co.il is the most common commercial suffix under Israel's country-code domain .il. It signals a local Israeli identity at a glance, which is why most businesses aimed at the Israeli market choose it.

Who can register a .co.il domain?

Any individual or organization can register a co.il or org.il domain. The holder must be an existing legal entity — a licensed dealer or an unregistered partnership cannot register one. Other .il suffixes are restricted by type of body — for example ac.il for recognized academic institutions and gov.il for government bodies.

How to register a .co.il domain

  1. Check the name. Use the checker above to see whether the .co.il (and the matching .com) is taken.
  2. Confirm with WHOIS. Verify the result with an official lookup at whois.isoc.org.il — this site's answer is a strong hint, not a guarantee.
  3. Pick an accredited registrar. A few popular options are listed on the home page, and ISOC-IL publishes the full list of accredited registrars.
  4. Register and pay. Provide the eligibility details the registrar asks for.

How much does a .co.il domain cost?

Prices vary between accredited registrars, typically around 55 to 80 NIS per year. Always confirm the current price on the registrar's own site before buying.

.co.il or .com?

.com is the global default and is sometimes seen as more international. A business that mainly serves Israeli customers gets instant local recognition from co.il, and it is often worth registering both to protect the brand. Full comparison: .co.il vs .com.
