Perfect domain

A domain (or domain name) is your address for online visits and correspondence. Typing a domain name into a web browser will direct people to your website. When people e-mail you, everything after the @ sign is the domain.

It is also possible to create focused sub-domains by adding hostnames in front of the domain. For example, while our main domain is zone.eu, we have our customer success page at help.zone.eu.

You can register a domain name for a year or a longer period. When your registration period runs out, you can renew the registration.

Any company or individual can register a domain name. Tho some top level domains registries set conditions for registrations – for example .EU domains can only be registered by companies, citizens and residents of the European Union.

Our domain registration form will inform you if any limitations apply.

All the domains are registered for a fixed period of time and therefore domains need to be periodically renewed.

When you keep contact information up to date, there is no need to worry about the sudden expiry of your domain. We will notify you beforehand about the ending of domain registration period.

Domain can be renewed in My Zone via domain management.

Originally, domains only allowed latin characters and hyphens (-). This is no longer the case. Most domains will let you to use language-specific alphabets and accents.

However be aware that in practice these may be displayed in a compatibility format on some platforms. For example, a domain with cyrillic letters like “зоне.ею” will display as “xn--e1adsd.xn--e1a4c” when shared on social media.

Pro tip: when using a domain name with accents for print or radio ads, register an equivalent latin-only domain for e-mail and online sharing.

The most common security issue with domains is accidentally sharing your account password. This can result in malicious parties logging in and transferring your domains to their account.

Activate two-factor authentication for your my.zone.fi account to prevent this, and make sure to check your contact details annually.

When registering multiple domains and planning on using Zone web-hosting services, bear in mind that you can redirect them free of charge via alias to virtual server in Zone. It allows accessing the website via multiple domain names and email addresses also work with several domains. Aliases can be also added to the subdomain of a virtual server.
