We are dotlocal_

In the past, we made “having your own website” accessible to everyone with our brand Mijndomein. Now, we make “having your own domain extension” accessible with our brand Dotlocal.

Within Dotlocal, the domain specialists of Mijndomein and Metaregistrar work together to help cities, regions and brands establish their digital identity in an approachable way. More than 20 years of experience as a hosting company and more than 10 years of experience in applying for and managing the successful extensions .amsterdam and .frl gives us unique insights into the market and the opportunities.

Our story

Dotlocal’s extension story begins with the decision by the Province of Friesland to discontinue its application for .frl. Dotlocal, then still under the name Metaregistrar, felt this was a missed opportunity and was granted permission to continue the application. Together with an enthusiastic team of Frisians, we made .frl a successful local extension.

A year later, the city of Amsterdam asked us to manage the operation of .amsterdam. This extension became a success as well, with more than 25.000 domain names registered. In addition to these two geographical extensions, we also manage .co.nl.

Over the years, we have been a strong advocate for a secure service. For instance, we stood up to the US-based regulator by correctly implementing European data protection laws even before GDPR came into force, and we are active in various interest groups on local internet extensions.
