# Netim

> French registrar with unusually deep ccTLD coverage and corporate controls.

- Differentiator is breadth: a very long tail of country-code TLDs, including ones requiring local presence or trustee services.
- Offers registry lock and corporate contact handling where registries support them.
- Pricing is mid-to-high and quoted in euros.
- The registrar you end up at when the extension you need is not sold anywhere else.
