The life cycle of .paris
Creating your .paris domain name
What is a .paris domain name?
The city of Paris, famous for its dynamic economic and digital landscape, introduced its own domain name to promote local activity. This .PARIS extension, approved by the French Association for Internet Naming Cooperation (AFNIC) aims to strengthen the visibility of residents and professionals based in the capital.
The Paris region with access to the .paris domain has over 12 million people. Thanks to this extension, many individuals and entities can establish a local web presence.
Why use a .paris?
.paris is the official domain name of the French capital, making it a recognised national and international entity. It conveys an image of culture and prestige that instantly and universally resonates with everyone. So by using this extension on your website, you become part of this image and show your link to the city.
Also, registering a .paris domain name will protect your name or trademark, increase its visibility and prevent it from being used by others.
Or it could be an opportunity to use a term, name or mark that is no longer available with other domain extensions.
Who can get a .paris ?
The .paris domain name is open to individuals, businesses, organisations, retailers, or anyone with a direct or indirect affiliation to the Paris region (departments 75, 77, 78, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95).
