There’s no doubt that anyone who is “proud as a Frisian” of his province will register a .frl domain. The Frisians have shown this in huge numbers: during the priority phase alone, 10.000 domain names were registered. So this .local has been welcomed with open arms! Dotlocal is the owner of .frl.
Starring pioneers like Piet Paulusma, Boomsma distillery, Tryater and of course the Royal “Vereniging De Friesche Elf Steden”, the Frisians were warmed up for the priority phase in which Frisian organisations and residents had the first right to register their domain name. Supported by a camper van driving past all events, TV commercials and more, no Frisian could ignore “Op z’n Fries” (“Frisian style”). During this priority phase, nearly 10,000 domains were registered.
There are currently almost 11,000 .frl domain names are registered. Every month, about 60 people claim their new .frl. More than 95% of the .frl domains are registered by Frisians. The others target the province in a different way.
Registrars and other entities that sell or want to sell .frl domains can find all the information on our registrar website nic.frl.
Those who want to register their .frl domain name will find everything they need on our registrant website registreer.frl.
Friesland was ready for its own extension. What about you? Dotlocal advises and supports organisations in applying for, setting up and operating their own local domain extension.
