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.

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
Current registration and renewal rates are shown separately below; rates can change
Business email and setup help are available as separate services

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.
