The Israel Internet Association (ISOC) was founded 1994 in order to promote the internet and its integration into Israel's technological, research, educational, social and business infrastructure.

ISOC acts towards developing and advancing the infrastructure services that are vital for the existence of the internet in Israel

The Association's operates the following activities in order to promote the internet in Israel:

• Registering Domain Names under il

• Establishing and managing the Israel Internet Exchange (IIX) (IIX), which directs all Israeli internal internet traffic between the various internet providers in the most effective manner and serves as the Israeli internets backbone.

• Hosting a DNS Root Server

The ISOC also enriches professional knowledge by a Online magazine. The magazine constitutes a non-commercial platform for articles and papers in professional fields that, for the most part, do not receive adequate reference in Israel's computer-related press.
