Do you own your domain name in Hebrew?
Do you want to beat out the competition for a popular Hebrew keyword?
Here’s why you should register your new .Israel domain name as soon as possible!
Organizations and businesses in Israel are about to be offered new Hebrew domain names ending with .Israel in Hebrew. “Dot Israel” domain names will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, so if your organization has competitors with similar names, you’ll want to be first in line!
Starting from November 22, organizations can register any Hebrew domain name with the new suffix .Israel in Hebrew. If you want to ‘own your space’ on the internet, it’s important to registry our domain names soon. In addition, you can apply to register domain names featuring any important Hebrew keywords for your sector (such as tzedaka. israel, donate.israel etc.) but you’ll have to be quick to capture the most popular options when registration opens at 12 noon onTuesday!
Marketing and SEO expert Sarah Manning explains: “Buying your “Dot Israel” Hebrew domain name could be very important if you have Hebrew-speaking customers and donors. Many Israelis find it frustrating to change their typing language to English whenever they access the internet, particularly when searching on mobile devices. They prefer to type domain names and search for websites in Hebrew. Of course, Google prioritizes domain names as a key search criterion, so if you want to be found easily by Israelis using Google (and who doesn’t!) using a domain name in Hebrew characters is a must!”
It’s important to be aware that you cannot buy Israeli-registered domain names through GoDaddy or other online domain sellers. Only resellers authorized by the Israeli Internet Association (IIA) can sell Israeli domain names. From November 22, you will be able to register your “Dot Israel” domain name with the new .Israel suffix, at the same time as other Hebrew domain names with the various existing .il suffixes, such as .co.il, .org.il and .ac.il.
