More secure, more local, more sustainable and more inclusive… Under the names wijzijn.be (Dutch-speaking) and cestnous.be (French-speaking), we are celebrating DNS Belgium’s 25th anniversary this year and launching a brand-new project to inspire people to get started digitally. We guide entrepreneurs, organisations, hobbyists and many others towards their own .be domain name.
We are more online than ever, but in a sea of digital channels, a clear website or a professional email address remains the foundation of online trust. Our new project and website of the same name highlight this. wijzijn.be / cestnous.be shows that having your own .be domain not only looks professional, but as one of the most secure extensions on the internet, it also provides reliability and a local identity for anyone going online in Belgium.
Starting in mid-October, we want to encourage everyone who is active online to choose a .be domain and show that it doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. We guide you through all the steps to register a domain and answer any questions, because the internet is for everyone!
Why choose a .be domain?
- More trust (strong branding)
- More secure
- Local connection
- Less dependence on large platforms
To further highlight the launch, we also surveyed more than two thousand Belgians about their thoughts on .be and other online channels. The results clearly show that a dedicated online shop is preferred over an offering solely on social media, and that a .be website inspires more confidence than a .com or a social media page. The survey results will be available soon on our news articles and socials.
You won’t want to miss the launch of wijzijn.be and cestnous.be. In addition to extensive press communications and advertisements, we are also promoting our new brand - quite literally - with engaging visuals. On the website, you will see the “.be” appear in different styles, because your .be is unique and personal.
Curious? Looking for inspiration? Or finally ready to start your own domain name? Be sure to check out our new website, because… we are .be!
