Norwegian domain
DKNO Partners advises you and your business
Buying a Norwegian domain (.no) is a strategically important decision for Danish companies looking to establish themselves in the Norwegian market. A .no domain signals local presence and increases credibility with Norwegian customers.
We can make the process simple and handle the order for you - without cumbersome requirements or unnecessary costs.
Why choose a Norwegian domain
- Credibility: Local customers trust Norwegian domains and the company is perceived as part of the local market.
- SEO benefits: A Norwegian domain can provide better rankings in search results on Google.no and other search engines targeting Norway. Search engines often prioritize local domains higher in that country.
- Competitive advantage: A Norwegian domain ensures that your competitors won't register it and use it to dominate the market.
- Branding: Using a Norwegian domain allows you to adapt your brand to the Norwegian audience and appear more local.
Requirements for registering a Norwegian domain
Get a Norwegian organization number
To register a Norwegian domain, your company must have a Norwegian organization number. This is typically achieved by registering an NUF (Norwegian registered foreign enterprise) with the Brønnøysund Register. The process requires submission of the company's Danish registration papers and an address in Norway. Once the registration is complete, you'll receive the necessary organization number to purchase a Norwegian domain.
Responsible contact person
A Norwegian contact is required to register a Norwegian domain. The contact must have a Norwegian social security number or D-number and acts as your company's representative to Norid. This ensures that there is always a local connection in Norway to handle any notifications about the domain. If you don't have a contact person, DKNO Partners will be your contact person in Norway and will be automatically included in the process.
Choose a trustworthy registrar
A Norwegian domain must be registered through an authorized registrar approved by Norid. A trustworthy registrar ensures that the registration is handled correctly and offers help with renewing and protecting the domain. At DKNO Partners, we work with reliable registrars so you don't have to worry and can focus on your business.
What you need to be aware of when ordering a Norwegian domain
When you order a Norwegian domain, it's not just about getting it registered - there are several practical things that can affect your success
-
Domain relevance
Choose a name that fits your target audience in Norway and supports your company branding.
-
Language and spelling
Avoid domain names that can be misunderstood or are difficult to pronounce for Norwegian customers.

Webshop & Webdesign
Get an online store in Norway and take advantage of the strong buying market
Norway is a strong buying market, so it's a great opportunity for your business to increase revenue with a webshop that targets the Norwegian market. With a webshop, you'll be much more accessible to Norwegian customers - wherever they are.
However, if you run a Danish business, there are several important considerations to take into account when setting up a webshop in Norway. These include requirements for Trygg Ehandel certification, appropriate payment solutions, high usability and professional Norwegian texts.
Create consistency between your web design and visual identity
Your web design is crucial to your business as it is often where you create the first impression with your customers and partners. Your company's web design should reflect your entire corporate identity. It is therefore essential that the design line gives an honest and contemporary picture of the company's competencies, values and history.
In addition to your website, you need to consider all other visual materials, such as business cards, social media and ads, as part of your design line. This helps create a cohesive visual identity that helps your customers remember your business. Recognizability builds trust and confidence - both of which are fundamental to achieving a competitive position in the market.
