# Best domain registrars in Finland

Finland is the mirror image of Norway. Traficom, the state agency that runs .fi, states that companies, organisations and private persons can hold a .fi name regardless of their domicile, so there is no local presence gate at all. What the registry does enforce is truthfulness: the name must be registered to its actual holder, and incorrect holder data can cost you the domain. No registrar we track sells .fi, so the string itself comes from a Finnish registrar, while .com and other gTLDs are cheaper at renewal from the registrars we do track.

## ccTLDs

### .fi

Finland's country code, the default identity for Finnish businesses and residents.

- Eligibility: Open. Companies, organisations and private persons can register regardless of domicile. Names are assigned first come, first served.
- Notes: Traficom, the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, operates the registry and publishes the registrar list. The domain must be registered to its actual holder; incorrect holder data may lead to removal. The registrant is responsible for making sure the name does not infringe a protected name or trademark.

- Registrars we track that sell it: none — we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD
