.SE domains now 65% cheaper

We have offered .SE domain registrations for almost 8 years now. During this time, .SE domains have been the number one pick for Swedish customers.

In an attempt to make the .SE ccTLD more budget-friendly, we’ve struck a registrar partnership that permits us to come up with a considerably lower long-term .SE domain registration price.

Read on to find out more about the price reduction and the new .SE domain registration requirements.

The history of .SE domains

In 1986, Björn Eriksen registered the very first .SE domain. In those days, SUNET – the Swedish universities’ network, oversaw the .SE domain registration procedure.

Björn Eriksen threw himself impetuously into propagating the .SE extension among Sweden-based telecommunications service providers and nine years later the Swedish Standards Institute (SIS) and the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) combined forces to prepare a uniform .SE domain name allocation policy.

In 1997, the Internet Infrastructure Foundation (IIS) was established to exercise regulative control over the by-then rapidly increasing number of .SE domain registrants and to stimulate the overall expansion of the country’s cyber infrastructure.

IIS established the daughter company NIC-SE whose function was to supervise the actual management of the .SE namespace.

According to the statistical bar graphs on IIS’s official website, the majority of .SE-equipped websites are content-based.

The total number of active .SE domains has risen steadily over the last few years. This is the effect less strict registration requirements that were adopted in 2003.

Why you need to offer .SE domains on your store

Sweden is the EU’s third biggest and the world’s seventh most prosperous state in terms of land area and per-capita gross domestic product, respectively.

Sweden’s economy is dependent on exports. There are a lot of ICT, engineering, automobile and drug corporations that sell their goods and services abroad and that depend on the Internet as their primary means of reaching out to far-off business clients.

Swedish labor unions, workers and workers’ rights organizations need a .SE-powered website to propagate their viewpoints and objectives as well.

Aside from financial prosperity, Sweden is also enjoying a remarkably fast Internet adoption speed, which definitely makes it a target-worthy market.
