Information

UNINETT Norid AS, also known as Norid, is a non-profit organization based in Norway responsible for managing the .no country code top-level domain (ccTLD). Established in 2003, Norid oversees the registration and maintenance of all domain names under the .no extension. The organization's mission is to develop domain name policies for .no that cater to societal needs while adhering to the framework set by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). With a strong commitment to innovation, Norid announced in 2010 its plans to offer third-level .co.no domains to the public, aiming to bring more flexibility to the existing ccTLD.

Restrictions

Regarding domain name registrations, Norid has implemented certain policies and guidelines. Prior to 2001, specific two-letter combinations under the .no extension were forbidden from user registration. However, this restriction was lifted in 2001, allowing a company named Elineweb A.S. to register co.no. In 2009, Norid discovered that the Whois record for co.no listed Elineweb as the owner, despite having outsourced the selling of registrations under this third-level domain name to CoDNS since 2001. This led to a legal dispute between Norid and Elineweb, with both parties filing lawsuits in 2011. The Norwegian courts eventually ruled in favor of Elineweb, allowing them to offer .co.no domain names on a first-come, first-served basis in partnership with CoDNS. In summary, UNINETT Norid AS is the organization responsible for managing the .no ccTLD and has implemented various policies regarding domain name registrations. A legal dispute between Norid and Elineweb over the registration of co.no led to a court ruling in favor of Elineweb, allowing them to offer .co.no domain names.
