Why get a private domain name?

A private domain name makes it possible to create an online identity. The domain name can be used to create a blogg or a web page, as well as for email addresses and other services. It can thus be used as a starting point for all personal online services that you use, like Facebook, Twitter, blogs and so on. Services come and go, but a domain name is stable. When you establish an email address to your domain name, you can be sure that you can keep it for the rest of your life, even though you might change your employer or Internet provider.

You may use your domain name as a family domain. Each family member - as many as you like - can have their own email address and a web page, and they can keep there services as long as you have the domain name.

Safety on the Internet becomes more and more important. The Norwegian top level domain is known for safety and high quality, and has received very high scores in international surveys. This is important for many people when they choose a top level domain for their domain registration.
