The Netherlands
FRLregistry is a Dutch startup that focuses on the exploitation of the Friese Top Level Domain .frl. Established in 2013, the company's initiative aligns with the wishes of the Provinciale Staten to introduce the .frl extension without using provincial funds. As such, FRLregistry operates the extension solely at its own risk and expense. The company, Mijndomein.nl, submitted the application for the Friese Top Level Domain.frl to the ICANN, making it the owner and responsible for its operation. Additionally, the involvement and support of the Provincie Fryslân reflect the marketing potential for Fryslân.
The phased introduction of the .frl extension offers protected brands, the government, the Friese business community, and individuals the opportunity to be the first users of a Friese domain name. Moreover, around 2,000 domain names are reserved for culture and commerce, designated as premium domains. Starting from mid-April 2015, these domain names are made available to everyone.
FRLregistry operates in the internet industry, with its headquarters located in The Netherlands. According to the available data, there is no publicly disclosed information about the last investment or the involved investors.
Overall, FRLregistry demonstrates a keen focus on promoting and utilizing the distinctive Friese identity on the internet, with potential implications for the regional marketing landscape.
