📄 Editorial Review

Netim is an independent French-based registrar created in 2004 (founder & charmain Bruno Vincent) and headquartered in Lille. Instead of being a classic "hosting-first" company, they built the business around domain name management and registration, then added a compact set of complementary services: email hosting, DNS and security options, SSL certificates and a reseller ecosystem. The company remains fully owned by its founders, with a small team of a few dozen people and more than twenty years of experience in the domain industry.

The core of the platform is clearly domain names. Netim is accredited with hundreds of registries and offers more than 1,300 TLDs, including over 200 country-code extensions. That breadth is useful both for small site owners who simply want a .com or .fr and for agencies or brands that need a mix of generic and local domains. Domains registered through Netim come with several built-in features at no extra cost: a secure account interface, domain and email forwarding, one free email address via the Lite hosting plan, DNSSEC support, and optional extras like Whois privacy, premium DNS and brand-protection blocks.

For customers who want to build everything around email rather than full web hosting, Netim’s email hosting has become the main "hosting-like" product. There is a free Lite option (1 address, 1 GB storage, included with each domain) and paid plans that scale up to 50 addresses and 250 GB of shared storage. These plans include IMAP/POP/SMTP access, secure webmail with two-factor authentication, antivirus and anti-spam filtering, aliases, forwarding and autoresponders. Data and mail servers remain hosted in France, which is attractive for customers with a preference for EU data residency and strict GDPR compliance.

An important point for anyone looking specifically for web hosting: Netim decided in mid-2025 to end its own web hosting business and refocus on domains and email. Existing website customers have been transitioned to a partner provider (hosting.fr, a subsidiary of the German group hosting.de GmbH) while Netim concentrates on registry accreditations, domain operations and email services.

Someone coming to Netim today will find domain registration, email hosting and SSL certificates directly on their platform, but not classic shared hosting, VPS or dedicated servers sold under the Netim brand.

Netim also invests quite a bit in DNS and security services around domains. Beyond the standard DNS included with every domain, there is Premium DNS and an announced Premium+ DNS tier aimed at very high availability, plus DNSSEC support on compatible TLDs. Domain theft protection, auto-renewal, Whois privacy and abuse-handling procedures round out the picture for customers who care about brand protection more than raw server resources.

On top of that, Netim targets agencies, resellers and integrators through a reseller program, SOAP/REST API, and ready-made modules for billing platforms such as Blesta, ClientExec, HostBill, WHMCS and WISECP. For users building their own hosting or SaaS platforms, this allows domain registration, renewal and DNS management to be tightly integrated into their own systems while still relying on Netim as the backend registrar.

Overall, Netim is a good fit for customers who prioritize domain portfolio management, email reliability and DNS/security over running heavy server workloads. Anyone who wants an all-in-one stack including full web hosting will either need to rely on the external partner they recommend or combine Netim with a separate hosting provider. Their website still offers English support/localization, along French.
