## How to choose a good domain name?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
!!! INFO
|
||||||
|
Consider carefully what kind of domain name is best for you. Before
|
||||||
|
registering a domain name, make sure the permitted characters and
|
||||||
|
the lawfulness of the domain name.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The domain name must not infringe a protected name or trademark owned by
|
||||||
|
another party. Domain name holders are responsible for making sure that the
|
||||||
|
domain name they have registered is lawful. Consult the public registers to
|
||||||
|
verify that the domain name you are about to register is lawful.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An fi-domain name may contain 2-63 characters. The permitted characters and the
|
||||||
|
restrictions in their use are further specified.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Permitted characters in domain names are
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- letters a-z
|
||||||
|
- numbers 0-9
|
||||||
|
- hyphen-minus (-)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Permitted native language characters are
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- letters å, ä and ö
|
||||||
|
- characters in the Sami languages spoken in Finland
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A domain name may not begin or end with a hyphen-minus. The third and fourth
|
||||||
|
characters may not both be hyphen-minuses.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An exception to this is the ACE form (ASCII Compatible Encoding) of a domain
|
||||||
|
name containing native language characters å, ä or ö. In such case, the third
|
||||||
|
and fourth characters may both be hyphen-minuses.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Tips for a good domain name
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A domain name should be clear and contain as few technical restrictions as
|
||||||
|
possible. A good domain name:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- does not infringe any names or trademarks already registered by another party
|
||||||
|
- cannot be confused with another domain name. A name that is very similar to
|
||||||
|
another name may lead to misunderstandings.
|
||||||
|
- matches your company name, auxiliary company name or trademark
|
||||||
|
- is distinctive and reflects your subject or service
|
||||||
|
- sounds clear also when spoken and pronounced in different languages. Replacing
|
||||||
|
letters å, ä and ö with a and o, for instance, may change the name's meaning
|
||||||
|
into something unflattering. Keep in mind the technical requirements
|
||||||
|
concerning the Finnish and Sami native characters as well as hyphen-minus.
|
||||||
|
- may be used as an email address, if necessary. For example, the domain name
|
||||||
|
citywastewatertreatmentplant.fi is too complicated to be used as an email
|
||||||
|
address firstname.lastname@citywastewatertreatmentplant.fi.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is very important to verify that the fi-domain name is lawful before
|
||||||
|
registering it. If your domain name infringes someone else's protected name or
|
||||||
|
trademark, you can lose your domain name.
|
||||||
|
Traficom can remove an fi-domain name from the domain name register at the
|
||||||
|
request of the owner of a protected name or trademark if the domain name is
|
||||||
|
identical or similar to the protected name or trademark.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Native language characters in domain names
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
!!! INFO
|
||||||
|
An fi-domain name may contain Finnish native characters (e.g. å, ä and ö)
|
||||||
|
that differ from the Latin alphabet. The majority of software converts these
|
||||||
|
characters into a form that is accepted by name server systems. However, not
|
||||||
|
all software and keyboards support native language characters. We do not
|
||||||
|
recommend to use a domain name containing native language characters as your
|
||||||
|
primary domain name.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Internet name server systems can only process the traditional letters (a to z)
|
||||||
|
of the Latin alphabet. In order for name servers to accept native language
|
||||||
|
characters in domain names, the characters must be converted into another form.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Software, internet browsers and email programs that support national domain
|
||||||
|
names automatically convert them from plain text into a form that name server
|
||||||
|
systems can read.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, due to technical restrictions, it is not recommended to use a domain
|
||||||
|
name containing native language characters as a primary domain name.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Permitted characters in domain names
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The permitted characters in fi-domain names are letters from a to z, numbers
|
||||||
|
from 0 to 9, hyphen-minus and the following native language characters:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
à, â, ä, å ...
|
||||||
|
... õ, ö ...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An fi-domain name cannot begin or end with a hyphen-minus. A domain name cannot
|
||||||
|
begin with characters xn--. The ACE form (ASCII Compatible Encoding) of a domain
|
||||||
|
name containing native language characters always begins with characters xn--.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Rights to domain names containing native language characters
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fi-domain name holders have no priority to a domain name similar to their domain
|
||||||
|
name apart from native language characters (å, ä, ö). These domain names, too,
|
||||||
|
are granted on a first-come, first-served basis.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, regardless of whether a domain name contains native language characters
|
||||||
|
or not, it can be considered identical to a protected name or trademark that
|
||||||
|
contains native language characters.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, both domain name åäö.fi and domain name aao.fi would be considered
|
||||||
|
identical to the protected name or trademark ÅÄÖ. Instead, if the protected name
|
||||||
|
or trademark were AAO, the only domain name considered identical to it would be
|
||||||
|
aao.fi.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Technical restrictions of browser software
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The latest versions of most browser software support domain names containing
|
||||||
|
native language characters. The most popular of them are Mozilla Firefox,
|
||||||
|
Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Safari.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Technical restrictions of email addresses
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If domain names containing native language characters are intended to be used in
|
||||||
|
email addresses, the sender's email program must support such characters. The
|
||||||
|
support in many email programs is still insufficient, and therefore it is
|
||||||
|
recommended to check this directly from the manufacturer of the program.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Due to technical restrictions, it is not recommended to use a domain name
|
||||||
|
containing native language characters in an email address. Few email programs
|
||||||
|
support IDNs. Without IDN support, the domain name has to be used in an
|
||||||
|
impractical coded form. For example, info@ääkkönen.fi in coded form is
|
||||||
|
info@ xn--kknen-fraa=0m.fi.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Keyboard support for native language characters
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It can be difficult or even impossible to type fi-domain names containing native
|
||||||
|
language characters using a foreign language keyboard. Without keyboard support,
|
||||||
|
one solution for entering native language characters in Windows operating system
|
||||||
|
is Character Map program.
