What is a .no domain?

.no is the country code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD) for Norway. While there are a number of second-level domains available for different entities in Norway — from priv.no for individuals to drett.no for sports organizations — the number of top-level .no domains is limited by the registry. Despite these limitations (or maybe because of them) .no domain names are very popular in Norway and are the clear first choice for any business, organization or individual who has a presence in the country.

Who can buy a .no domain?
