fi-domain Domain

If you are attracted to the Scandinavian countries, you should familiarize yourself with the .fi domain extension. This is the country-specific top-level domain of Finland. With the year of publication 1986 it is one of the oldest domain endings worldwide. Until today it is administered by the Finnish Communications Regulator (FICORA). In view of the comparatively small population, the interest in Finnish domains is growing.

Register a Finnish .fi TLD

The registration of a domain with the .fi ending is possible for companies with a branch in Finland. For this purpose an entry in the commercial or cooperative register is necessary and must be proven to FICORA during the registration process. Private individuals must provide their personal ID number and date of birth. The registration process usually takes one to three days. The minimum and maximum length of a .fi domain is between 2 and 63 characters. A hyphen is allowed in the domain, but it must be placed in the middle. Numeric characters are also permitted.

Typo domains are not allowed with the .fi domain!

The Finns care a lot about safety in the net. This includes in particular typo domains, which usually lead to dubious pages. If you want to register such typo domains in Finland, you have to reckon with their deletion and face the abuse accusation. In this context, problematic domains were excluded from the outset a few years ago. All in all FICORA applies reasonable measures which nip fraud and dubious sites in the bud.

Finland is booming in the tourism sector. Therefore domains with the country code .fi are especially popular. Holiday flats, guesthouses or active holidays are best suited to make yourself known in Finland but also in the rest of the world. Even though Finland is sparsely populated, 90 percent of the inhabitants use the Internet and are mainly interested in the offers of Finnish companies or branches of international brands. ccTLD's like .fi are ideal for increasing the visibility of websites. This can also increase the ranking of local search results.
