Achieve success across borders – register a Finnish .fi domain

Starting a business in Finland? Or are you planning to expand across the border and establish yourself in the Finnish market? Then a website under a Finnish domain is an important first step. At Abion, you will get help registering a .fi domain quickly and securely without intermediaries. We also have a complete range of services for domain management and domain protection.

What is a .fi domain?

.fi is Finland's official top-level domain (TLD, top level domain). The domain is a country domain specifically intended for businesses and individuals in Finland, as well as foreign actors who want to be visible in the Finnish market.

The administrator of Finland's top-level domain is the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom). They are the ones who determine the registration conditions that apply to .fi and grant authorisation to .fi domain providers.

Finnish domain

Why invest in a Finnish top-level domain?

A .fi website is particularly relevant if you plan to establish a business in Finland or if you want to expand in the Nordic countries. To cope with the tough competition, you need to be visible online and have a strong presence. A website with an official country domain gives you several important competitive advantages, including:

Easier to find for customers in Finland

To be successful in Finland, you must reach Finnish customers, and it must be easy for Finnish customers to find you. A website with the .fi extension quickly and clearly shows that you are relevant for searches in Finland and that the services and/or products you offer are available in the country.

Better ranking in search engines

A prerequisite for your business to be easy to find – and easy to identify as available in Finland – is that you rank high on various search engines. Since search engines generally favour pages under the national country domain when searching in the respective country, you have a better chance of ranking higher in Finnish search results with a .fi domain.

Local support

Local support in the form of Finnish-speaking web developers, industry organisations, designers, and various types of partners can be a valuable help when starting a business in Finland. With a Finnish domain, you will have easier access to such resources.

Trademark protection

Domain name registration is an effective and proactive measure you can take to strengthen your trademark protection. By registering a Finnish domain identical to your company name/brand, you prevent someone else from purchasing the domain and attempting to exploit it for cybersquatting, phishing, and other types of cyberattacks.

Promotes business relationships

Local business partners can be very significant when you are establishing yourself in another country. A Finnish domain clarifies your presence in the country and makes you more relevant to potential partners.

Builds trust with customers

Just like a national domain promotes business relationships in the country, it also builds trust capital with potential customers. A website that ends with .fi shows that you are committed to the Finnish market and serious about your establishment.

Good to consider before registration

How many Finnish domains do you need? Is one enough, or do you want to register more if, for example, you have multiple brands?
Create a domain strategy or book a domain consultation to get help. Preparation and planning increase the chances of success with your .fi domain.
Check that your intended domain name is available and that it is not too similar to an already registered domain name. If your desired domain name is taken, we can assist with inquiries and negotiations for acquisition.
For trademark protection, you should register your domain as early as possible – before you start marketing yourself in Finland.

Available for entities worldwide

.fi is an open country domain available to users around the world. There are no restrictions on who can register a Finnish domain or requirements that you must have your seat in Finland. As long as the basic registration requirements are met and your domain name is legal and does not infringe on someone else's trademark, you can apply for registration through an approved provider.
