FICORA has granted its 150,000th fi-domain name

The number of valid fi-domain names has exceeded 150,000. The 150,000th fi-domain name, bsi.fi, was granted to a private person resident in Espoo on 25 June 2007.

The number of Finnish domain names has increased rapidly over the past few years. In 2003 the conditions for granting fi-domain names to businesses were crucially alleviated, which resulted in a heavy increase in the number of domain names. In 2006 private persons were allowed to apply for a fi-domain name and so far domain names have been granted to more than 10,000 private persons.

Additional information on fi-domain names and the application for them is available at the address https://domain.ficora.fi.
