Costs of registration

Registration fee

This is the fee that Norid bills the registrar to cover the costs Norid incurs processing the application. It is highly probable that the registrar in addition will bill you for the work they have done in connection with the registration, both technical and administrative. Registrars are free to price as they wish regarding procurement of and forwarding domain applications.

The one-time registration fee will come due at the end of the month in which the registration was made.

Each registrar will receive a total bill for the sum of domain names registered for customers of that registrar the previous month.

Registration fee: 250 NOK

Annual fee

The annual fee is meant to cover Norid's cost in the following areas:

• changes and updates for registrations already made
• general maintenance of the name space under .no
• quality control of the registered data

These are areas whose cost of operation are not covered through the one time registration fee.

The chosen model for the yearly fee is that a basic fee is incurred by all domain name registrations. This is billed to the billing contact for the domain. The more domain names a billing contact handles for its customers the cheaper the basic cost gets, according to the following table:

The fee is paid in advance for each year, exept for the first year, which is covered by the registration fee.

Payment conditions

Registration fee: 30 days payment limit

The billing contact gets the invoice with a standard 30 days limit of payment. Norid will issue a first warning after the limit on the invoice has expired (30 days after the invoice was sent out). A second warning is sent 14 days after the limit on the invoice has expired (45 days after the invoice date).

Procedures for invoicing and penalties for non-payment are covered by the Registrar Agreement

Annual fee: 14 days payment limit

The billing contact gets the invoice with 14 days limit of payment. Norid will issue a first warning after the limit on the invoice has expired (14 days after the invoice was sent out). A second warning is sent 14 days after the limit on the invoice has expired (28 days after the invoice date).

In addition a letter will be attached, giving a final time limit of 14 days. In addition the administrative contact of the domain will be contacted by email and informed that the domain will be removed if the invoice is not paid. If the invoice still hasn't been paid after 14 days, the domain name is removed.
