Finland ccTLD

Register a .fi domain

In Finland, .fi still beats .com for brand recall — register one to be read as a national operation, not a visitor. Traficom, the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, has run open worldwide registration for .fi since September 2016, with trademark-conflict rules and WHOIS accuracy checks that keep the namespace comparatively clean of squatting.

$41.50/yr Renews at the same price. No tricks. Privacy free

Who picks .fi?

Businesses selling into or operating in the Finnish market who want to be read as national, not visiting
International brands formalizing a Nordic/Finland presence for e-commerce, legal, or partner-facing sites
Brand owners whose name reads naturally before '.fi' for a clean domain hack

What it signals

Pros

Still outranks .com in everyday Finnish brand recall — a rare ccTLD with that kind of local pull
Open worldwide registration since September 2016, with no Finnish residency, EU status, or business ID required
Traficom enforces trademark-conflict and WHOIS-accuracy rules, keeping .fi comparatively free of squatting and spam
Flat renewal pricing from modusdom, so cost doesn't creep up year over year
Free WHOIS privacy where Traficom's policy allows it, plus SPF/DKIM/DMARC configured from day one

Watch-outs

Not the cheapest .fi registrar — modusdom prioritizes flat, predictable renewals over first-year teaser pricing
Recognized mainly within Finland/Nordic business circles, so it reads clearly as a Finland-market signal rather than a global brand play
Traficom's registry rules require accurate registrant contact data (name, address, phone), same as most WHOIS-publishing ccTLDs

Registry restrictions

Open registration: since September 2016, anyone worldwide may register a .fi domain with no requirement for Finnish residence, citizenship, or local company registration. Registrants must supply accurate identity data, and a domain name may not infringe another party's protected name or trademark.

Examples of .fi domains in the wild

Common questions about .fi domains

How much does a .fi domain cost?

A .fi domain is $41.50 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $41.50 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later.

Does a .fi domain renew at the same price?

Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .fi stays $41.50/yr in year 1, year 2, and year 10. Most registrars advertise a cheap first year, then quietly renew higher.

Do I get free WHOIS privacy on a .fi domain?

Yes — free WHOIS privacy is included on every .fi domain, hiding your name, address, email and phone from the public WHOIS record at no extra cost.

Can I transfer an existing .fi domain to Modusdom?

Yes. Transfers are free and add a year to your registration. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy the EPP/auth code, and start the transfer — we walk you through it, and your website and email keep working the whole time.

Is a .fi domain right for my business?

Finns still recall .fi brands ahead of .com ones in everyday use, so the ending functions as a deliberate Nordic-market commitment rather than a cosmetic swap — it's the domain Finnish partners and search engines read as locally serious. It is a strong fit for: Businesses selling into or operating in the Finnish market who want to be read as national, not visiting; International brands formalizing a Nordic/Finland presence for e-commerce, legal, or partner-facing sites; Brand owners whose name reads naturally before '.fi' for a clean domain hack.
