Registro .it creates the pendingDelete/pendingDelete release lists at 01:00 and publishes the exact deletion time. Deleted names become available immediately and, for seven days, registrars must submit the create command through the dedicated epp-deleted.nic.it endpoint.
These services offer a catch, queue or auction path for .it. They are not necessarily independent networks,
so check the custody and collision notes before placing duplicate orders.

Auction rulesOne accepted customer · no auction Only one customer can hold a backorder for a specific name at a time.
Supported extensions300+ stated TLDs The provider states 300+ eligible TLDs and explicitly publishes .it among its ccTLD routes; exact per-name eligibility is checked in its search.

Auction rulesScheduled highest-bid auction The next week's quarantine names are auctioned Monday 09:00 to Tuesday 14:00. DomainOrder attempts the catch for the winning bidder; the public FAQ does not frame this as a private backorder-holder auction.

Auction rulesNo auction · first order owns the slot Only one backorder is accepted per domain, so a successful catch is not sent to a bidding contest.

Auction rulesAuction when reservations collide If two or more customers reserve the same caught name, Match.it sends it to its online auction. Its public FAQ does not establish that non-reservers can join a backorder auction, so no public/private claim is made here.

Managed & monitoring alternatives
useful routes · not equivalent to a direct drop catcher
These providers publicly accept .it requests, but expose either a consultant-led acquisition or periodic
availability monitoring. Their cards state the missing technical, refund and collision evidence explicitly.
Price & feesQuote required NeoWeb states that cost varies by extension and domain popularity and asks the customer to request a detailed quote.
Auction rulesNo public collision rule The public page does not say whether competing customers enter an auction, follow a queue or use an external platform.
Supported extensionsLive eligibility only The public page explicitly names .it, .com, .net and .org and says further extensions are available by live request.
Companies that want a managed acquisition and auction mandate
Managed acquisitionPending deletePlatform route depends on the name
Price & feesManaged quote · attempt fee due The published fee covers the acquisition attempt and remains due regardless of whether the domain is obtained.
Auction rulesExternal auction by consent If several buyers trigger an auction, Register.it participates only with the customer's consent and within a supplied maximum bid.
Supported extensions497+ stated TLDs Register.it states 497 extensions and explicitly names .it and .com; the exact current route is handled through consultation.
Price & feesFrom €49 + VAT/year The annual monitoring fee is separate from the prepaid credit needed to cover registration if the name becomes available.
Auction rulesNo public collision rule The page warns that other backorders or faster buyers can win, but it does not publish an internal auction or queue-allocation rule.
Supported extensionsLive eligibility only Shellrent says the annual monitor is compatible with all extensions and explicitly names .it, .com and .net in its public domain catalogue.
A paid availability monitor that automatically tries ordinary registration when a name becomes free; useful, but not documented as a precision NIC drop-time catcher.

These providers publish only a broad total or resolve eligibility in a private/live search without naming .it.
Domain.Guru will not turn “100+ TLDs” into an invented extension list.
Compare 13 listed services for .it: Catched, CatchMe.it, DomainNameAPI, DomainOrder, DomainRecover, DominiOK, Match.it, NeoWeb, Nicsell, Nidoma, Puntuale.it, Register.it, Shellrent. Coverage comes from provider lists, named examples or an identified registry portfolio. Each card explains its basis; an extension listing does not guarantee eligibility for a particular domain. Unverified catalogues are listed separately.
Will a .it backorder go to auction?
2 confirmed service routes use a public auction, 2 use a private auction among eligible order holders, and 4 accept a no-auction route. The exact outcome depends on which service catches the name and whether another customer ordered it.
Does backordering guarantee a .it domain?
No. The current holder may renew, a registrar pre-release partner may sell it before the public drop, another catcher may win, or .it registry eligibility rules may prevent delivery.
Should I compare the .it renewal price before backordering?
Yes. A catch fee is only the acquisition cost. The winning registrar's renewal, transfer lock, account custody and auction fee can matter more over several years. Domain.Guru links the price board when a verified .it market exists.
