.NO domain now at Zone – is your business ready for the Norwegian market?

If you are planning to expand into Norway, or are already doing business there, now is the right time to secure a local and trustworthy web address. The .NO domain is now available for Zone customers – with local presence service included, meaning you don’t necessarily need a Norwegian company registration number or postal address.

Why choose .NO?

Build trust with Norwegian customers

Norwegian consumers and businesses are digitally savvy. They value transparency and prefer websites with a local domain extension. A .NO domain signals that you are truly present in their market – even if you rely on a local presence service.

A local domain reduces skepticism towards foreign websites, which may appear less trustworthy or even fraudulent. This is especially important in e-commerce, where buying decisions are often made quickly and based on trust.

Improve visibility in Norwegian Google

A .NO top-level domain helps search engines associate your site with the Norwegian market. This can boost your ranking in Norwegian search results and strengthen your local SEO.

For example, if someone searches for “aircraft parts Oslo”, a .NO website is more likely to appear higher than an identical site with a .EU or .COM domain. That gives you a strong competitive advantage in local SEO.

Professional branding in Scandinavia

Using a local domain shows professionalism and focus. It signals that you take the Norwegian market seriously.

If you work in the B2B sector or aim to build partnerships with Norwegian companies, a .NO domain can create credibility even before a client tries your product or service. It also allows you to build market-specific brand variations – such as a separate Norwegian-language website or campaign under your .NO domain.

Who can register a .NO domain?

Traditionally, .NO was restricted to Norwegian businesses and individuals with a Norwegian company/ID number and address. Through Zone.eu, our customers can now register a .NO domain using the local presence service. This enables registration even without a direct legal connection to Norway.

Note: If you already have a Norwegian subsidiary or parent company, it is best to register the domain under that entity. In this case, no local presence service is needed, and the yearly cost is just €7.28 + VAT. Contact us at info@zone.eu.

When is .NO the right choice?

• You have Norwegian customers or partners
• You are launching an online store or services for the Norwegian market
• You want to increase brand visibility in Norwegian digital channels
• You are looking for an SEO and marketing advantage
• You participate in trade fairs or business activities in Scandinavia

How to register

1. Search for your desired .NO domain via Zone.eu’s domain form
2. The registration fee includes local presence service and is billed annually
3. If you are a Norwegian legal entity, contact us at info@zone.eu – we will register the domain without the presence service
4. The domain owner will be the legal entity indicated during registration
5. If needed, you can later request a change of ownership

What does this mean for your business?

A .NO domain gives you local trust, better visibility in Norwegian Google, and a clear signal that you are a serious player in the market. With Zone, registration is easy – even if you don’t have a physical presence in Norway.
