The .fi extension is Finland\u2019s national domain name extension. Many companies want it at the end of their website and email addresses because of the trustworthy impression it creates.<\/p>\n<p>The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.traficom.fi\/en\/communications\/fi-domains\/fi-domain-applicants-and-users\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Traficom<\/a>\u00a0is responsible for the management of the .fi domain names. However, since 5 September 2016 it is no longer possible to obtain .fi domains directly from the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom. As of that date, domains must be registered through a domain name registrar.<\/p>\n<p>Lanetti.fi will register the domain of your choice for you as soon as you pay for a subscription. You can also order services from us for domain name registration, or simply reserve domain names for future use.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lanetti.fi\/en\/hosting\/domains\/\">Check if the domain you want is free<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Price and validity periods<\/h2>\n<p>You can apply for .fi domain names for one to five years at a time. If you want to redirect a domain name to the website, you can get the necessary name servers with your web hosting package or domain park, but external name servers can also be used. You can also register a domain name without name servers to have them available for future use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Registration price for .fi domain names:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 year \u20ac12.90 (plus 24% VAT)<\/li>\n<li>2 years \u20ac25.80 (plus 24% VAT)<\/li>\n<li>3 years \u20ac38.70 (plus 24% VAT)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What must a .fi domain name be like?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The length can be anywhere from 2 to 63 characters.<\/li>\n<li>The permitted characters are the letters a to z plus the Finnish characters \u00e5, \u00e4 and \u00f6, the digits 0 to 9, the hyphen (-), and the characters of the S\u00e1mi language spoken in Finland.<\/li>\n<li>The domain name cannot begin or end with a hyphen.<\/li>\n<li>The third and fourth characters cannot both be hyphens.<\/li>\n<li>The domain name cannot be based on another protected name or trademark.

For instance, \u00e4\u00e4kk\u00f6nen.fi and aakkonen.fi are different domain names. As such, they must be applied for separately.<\/p>\n<h3>Restrictions on registering .fi domain names<\/h3>\n<p>It is forbidden to register a domain name based on another person\u2019s or company\u2019s protected name or trademark.<br \/>\n<strong>Under the Finnish Information Society Code, the following types of names and marks are protected:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>names or marks registered in the trade register or into the registers of trademarks, associations, foundations, or political parties<\/li>\n<li>the name of a public body, unincorporated state enterprise, independent public corporation, public association, or diplomatic mission of a foreign state or its bodies<\/li>\n<li>established names, secondary marks or trademarks referred to in the Business Names Act or Trademarks Act<\/li>\n<li>EU trademarks registered in the register of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>You can check protected names and trademarks in the following registers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ytj.fi\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Business Information System of the Finnish Patient and Registration Office and the Finnish Tax Administration<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/yhdistysrekisteri.prh.fi\/?userLang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Finnish Patent and Registration Office<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tavaramerkkitietopalvelu.prh.fi\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Finnish Trademark Register<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/euipo.europa.eu\/ohimportal\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EU trademark database of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>At the time of registration, the desired domain name must not:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>match any other protected name or mark, unless the domain name user can provide an acceptable reason for registering such a domain name.<\/li>\n<li>resemble the protected name or trademark of another person or organisation, if the name is registered with the obvious intention of obtaining benefit or causing harm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.traficom.fi\/en\/communications\/fi-domains\/make-sure-your-fi-domain-name-lawful\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a>\u00a0on the website of the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom.<\/p>\n<h2>Transferring a .fi domain name with a registrar\u2019s registrar transfer key<\/h2>\n<p>The registrar\u2019s registrar transfer key can be used to transfer a domain from one registrar to another.
