How do I choose good web hosting when I know nothing about technology?

You do not need to understand the technology. Check five things: is support available in your language, are the servers located in Finland, are the SSL certificate and backups included in the price, is email included and will your current site be migrated free of charge. Once these are covered, the rest of the technology is the provider's responsibility, not yours.

Where are Nordweb's servers located?

Can I get support in Finnish?

How much does a website cost at Nordweb?

A business card site costs 390 €, a website package 1000 € and an online store from 1900 €. The price is a one-off and the package carries no monthly fee. Hosting and ongoing maintenance are a separate service starting at 25 €/month.

Can I get the domain, email and website from one place?

Which payment methods do you accept?

Payments are handled securely through Stripe. You can use card payments (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) as well as PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Klarna and MobilePay. All methods appear automatically at checkout.

Can I receive invoices as e-invoices?

Yes. E-invoicing is available for companies. You can add your e-invoice address and operator ID easily in your account settings or during checkout, and your invoices are then delivered straight as e-invoices.

Can I order services as a private person?

Yes, you can. Our service is aimed primarily at businesses, but a private person can also order a .fi domain and a few mailboxes from us. The only difference is that when a private person registers a .fi domain, Traficom requires a personal identity code, whereas a business only needs a business ID.

Why is there no VAT on a .fi domain?

The price of a .fi or .ax domain is an official fee charged by Traficom, which we bill to you as is without a separate service fee. This official fee is passed on without VAT, so no VAT is added to a .fi domain. Registering other endings such as .com or .net is our service, so those prices include the normal VAT.
