NETIM is an ICANN accredited French registrar - member of the RIPE - created in 2004 by Bruno Vincent. The company is now based in Lille.[1]
Evolution
The year of its creation NETIM obtained accreditation in Belgium, France, and Switzerland. This first step allowed the company to fully manage domain name registrations in French-speaking countries.
In 2006, the company started its accreditation process across Europe and became accredited in all European countries. Three years later, NETIM launched its reseller program in order to allow major Internet industry players to register and manage their domain portfolio with a high-quality service. The same year, NETIM became ICANN-accredited allowing the company to be recognized as an official domain name registrar.
In 2012 the society created a subsidiary Business FranceDNS, a registrar dedicated to French-speaking countries’ extensions. This company is mainly popular in Africa thanks to its involvement in local activities aiming to develop the internet and the extension .AFRICA[2] across the continent.
In 2014 with the launch of new gTLDs, NETIM presented a new optimized website displaying its largest offers with over 1,000 extensions available for registration.
In 2018, Netim became the first registar in the Ivory Coast[3] and the third .eu registrar in France.
