Hello and welcome to nps!

Hello,
Welcome to NP. Hope you've done your quota of raking today

Halloa.

Welcome, @Matrix166 - it's nice to have you. Spend a lot of time reading through the threads at first, and be slow in buying. That will save you a lot of money down the road.

Yes, I hope forest raking doesn't take up too much of your domaining time.

I did not get the raking pun first, but yeah, glad that I don't own any forest that needs raking

Hey there @Matrix166


p.s the "raking" remark was made from USA president Trump

Hello @Matrix166 .. and welcome to NamePros!

With the population of Finland being only 5 million combined with the fact that you have a unique language with no competition withing .com, I'm thinking it would be quite difficult to be very successful exclusively within the Finnish market? How widely in use is .fi compared to .com there?

Anyhow .. best of luck to you!

Great question and initiation of discussion!

Indeed, it is my primary concern. Domaining is quite unknown business here in Finland. Whenever a non-tech company is set up, most of the time they get the first offer at hosting company that provides them all they need (website building, 1 or 2 domain, hosting) and then they just go passive from there. I might get lucky with right domains and patient outbounding, but I'm not counting on that.

.fi is really popular and widely used in Finland, I don't know the exact numbers compared to .com, but they are the big two.
This might be just me, but I still see a lot of .net-domains in use for Finnish websites.

Thanks for the good luck, likewise to you!
