Why you should move your .FI domain names to EuroDNS now!
On 2 Sept 2016, the .FI registry (FICORA) will cease acting as a registrar. All accounts held in their system will be closed. If your .FI domain names are registered directly with FICORA, you must find a new registrar to manage your domain names. This doesn't apply if your .FI domain names are registered with EuroDNS already.
Choose EuroDNS now!
Trying to find a new registrar can be a daunting prospect and we’d strongly recommend you choose your new registrar and initiate the transfer process now. EuroDNS has been authorised to manage and register .FI domain names on your behalf, please see how to transfer to our platform below.
Remember, from 5 September you WILL NOT be able to make changes to your .FI domain names once the new operational model is launched. You will need to transfer your .FI domain names to an accredited registrar who’ll have the power to perform new registrations, renewals, transfers, and other updates.
Timetable for changes to .FI operational model
- 2 September - all user accounts held in the current domain name service at the Finnish registry (FICORA) will be closed.
- 5 September - the new domain name service will open for those registrars that have registered, like EuroDNS.
- 7 September - anyone, anywhere will be able to register a .FI domain name after local presence requirements are lifted.
EuroDNS – your new registrar
From 5 September you will not be able to make changes to your .FI domain names if they're registered directly with the Finnish registry, and your account there will be deleted from the domain name service.
