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 prioritise 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: By using a Norwegian domain, you can customise your brand to the Norwegian audience and appear more local.

Requirements for Norwegian domain registration

Get a Norwegian organisation number

To register a Norwegian domain, your company must have a Norwegian organisation number. This is typically achieved by registering an NUF (Norwegian registered foreign enterprise) in Brønnøysund Registers. The process requires the submission of the company's Danish registration papers and an address in Norway. Once registration is complete, you'll receive the necessary organisation number to purchase a Norwegian domain.

Responsible contact person

A Norwegian contact is required to register a Norwegian domain. The contact person 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 domain announcements. If you need a contact person, DKNO Partners will be your contact person in Norway, who is automatically included in the process.

Choose a trustworthy registrar

A Norwegian domain must be registered through an authorised 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 should 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.
Renewal process

Make sure your domain is renewed on time to avoid it becoming unavailable or sold to others.
Extra domains

Consider registering similar names (e.g. with and without hyphens) to protect your brand and avoid competitors or misunderstandings.

Webshop & Webdesign

Get an online store in Norway and capitalise on 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 become much more accessible to Norwegian customers - no matter where 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 your visual identity

Your web design is crucial to your business as it is often where you create the first impression with your customers and business 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 image of the company's competences, values and history.

In addition to your website, you need to include all other visual material, such as business cards, social media and adverts, as part of your design line. This helps create a cohesive visual identity that helps your customers remember your company. Recognisability builds trust and confidence - both of which are fundamental to achieving a competitive position in the market.
