Secure your brand with the right domain name in just a few minutes
It all starts with a domain name. Your domain name is your company’s online presence and the foundation for your professional email addresses. Through our online store, you can quickly search for new domain names, register them in just a few minutes, or begin the secure process of moving and transferring your existing domains to us.
It all starts with a domain name
Through our online shop, you can easily search for the domain name you wish to register to see if it is available. The price is displayed as soon as availability has been checked, and if the domain is available, you can register it straight away in just a few minutes. If you already own a domain name that you wish to transfer to us, the process is the same: enter the domain name in the search box and select the option to transfer it. You’ll need a transfer code (also known as an auth code or EPP code) from your current provider in order to complete the transfer.
When it’s time to renew your domain name, you’ll receive a reminder by email well in advance. Please note that you’ll also need one of our hosting packages to be able to use the domain name for a WordPress or WooCommerce website. If, instead, you wish to use an external service such as Wix or Squarespace, you can purchase our add-on services: DNS hosting or email hosting. This will give you access to our control panel, but with more limited access compared to a standard hosting package.
What exactly is a domain name?
It’s easy to get lost among all the technical terms. To explain how everything fits together, think of your online business as a regular physical house:
Hosting is like a plot of land: It’s the physical space on our servers in Finland where your website and email are hosted. Without a plot of land (hosting), your house has nowhere to stand.
A domain name is like your street address: It’s the name (for example, yourcompany.fi) that people type into their browser to find their way to you. It’s the address that leads visitors to your property.
Your website is the house itself: it’s the walls, the furniture, the paintings, and the different rooms that visitors encounter when they step through the door. It’s simply everything that makes your business unique and welcoming online.
That’s why you always need both an address (domain name) and a server (hosting) for your website and email to work.
Do you need help moving your website and email?
Are you hesitating to switch providers because it seems difficult or time-consuming? You can rest assured. With annual payment (and always included in the Commerce package), we’ll migrate your current website, your databases and all your associated email accounts to our high-speed servers in Finland. The whole process takes place securely in the background without your website being down for a single second, so your customers can visit your site as normal throughout.
Transfer your domain to us
Do you already own a domain name with another provider but want to consolidate your hosting, email, and domain management in one place? It’s easy to transfer your domain to us:
1. Request a transfer code
Log in to your current domain provider and request your transfer code (also known as an auth code, EPP code, or domain key).
2. Place your order
Enter your domain name in our online store, select the option to transfer the domain, and paste your unique code at checkout.
3. Seamless Transition
The transfer begins automatically in the background as soon as the code is approved. We’ll make sure your associated services are transferred securely and without interruption.
Tips for Registering a Domain Name
Choosing the right domain name is an important decision for your brand. Here are four simple but effective tips to help you find the perfect domain name for your business or organization:
Keep it short and easy to spell: Choose a name that’s easy to remember and won’t be misheard when you say it over the phone, print it on your cars, or use it in other advertising.
Protect your brand with multiple top-level domains: If your company operates in Finland, .fi is the obvious choice. But consider also registering .ax to establish a local presence, as well as .com, .eu, and .net or .org to prevent competitors from registering your name. If you plan to run an e-commerce business, .shop can also be an excellent addition.
Consider your Nordic neighbors: Are you planning to expand, or do you already sell to our neighboring countries? Be sure to secure local top-level domains such as .se for Sweden, .no for Norway, .dk for Denmark, .ee for Estonia, or the popular .nu extension well in advance.
Avoid hyphens if possible: Domain names with hyphens are usually harder for customers to remember and can easily lead visitors to the wrong website.
Think about your future email: Keep in mind that your domain name will also be the suffix of your professional email addresses (such as ). Therefore, choose a name that looks professional and credible in the inbox, and avoid using characters like å, ä, and ö in the main domain, as this can cause problems with your email.
Check the spelling carefully: Double-check that you have spelled your domain name correctly before completing your order. Once the domain is registered, you cannot change or cancel the purchase, as the statutory right of withdrawal does not apply to domain names.
Frequently Asked Questions
A transfer code (also known as an auth code or EPP code) is a unique security code that acts as a password for your domain name. It proves that you are the owner of the domain. You can easily retrieve the code by logging in to your current domain provider’s website, and you’ll need to paste it into our online store so we can transfer the domain to us.
No, you can rest assured. Our system keeps close track of your renewal dates and automatically sends a clear reminder via email well in advance of the renewal date. As long as you pay the renewal fee, you’ll never risk losing your domain name.
New domain name registrations are usually processed automatically and are completed in just a few minutes after payment is finalized. If you transfer an existing domain to us, the time required depends on the domain extension. A .fi domain is often transferred immediately, while international domains (such as .com) can take up to 5–7 days to complete the transfer due to global security regulations.
Yes, that works perfectly! If you’ve built your website using an external service like Wix or Squarespace, we can still manage your domain.

You’ll have access to our control panel, featuring a streamlined view that’s seamlessly tailored to your specific redirects.
