Today we are proud to present our first sustainability report.

A recent market survey by DNS Belgium shows that the Belgians see the internet as an essential part of their daily life and a source of entertainment. At the same time, we are becoming increasingly more careful when we surf.

E-mail is and remains an important means of communication. There are all sorts of alternative messaging services such as Snapchat, Messenger, WhatsApp, even with video, such as FaceTime. But that requires your correspondent to use the same program, and to have an iPhone or Android device.

75% of entrepreneurial Belgians opt for .be above any other domain name extension. This is the conclusion reached in a market research carried out by Insites Consulting for DNS Belgium. It would appear that Belgian entrepreneurs choose .be with every right and reason.

Children are spending more and more time online: in fact from the age of eight, they may be spending several hours a day on their devices. And virtually all youngsters use social media, doing their homework early at primary school on a tablet via an app or on a website.

2017 was a good year for DNS Belgium. The .be zone registered new growth again from the previous year, up nearly 2.3% for a total of 1.59 million active domain names.

As of Wednesday 27 June, DNS Belgium is automatically showing a picture of a missing child on its 'Page not found' web page (also known as a 404 page). In doing so, DNS Belgium supports Child Focus in the search for missing children.

Increasingly, companies communicate with their users through social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. However, having your own website is still necessary. We explain why and what the possibilities are.

For DNS Belgium, sustainability is far more than merely a matter of climate action. It is our fundamental value that gives direction to our organization.
