How this list was made
Every combination of two and three letters was first put to the public domain name system to see whether it resolves. A name with working nameservers is registered, and that settled the great majority of them in one pass. The remainder, the names with nothing in the domain name system at all, were then put to Norid one at a time, slowly enough to stay well inside the query limits the registry publishes.
Norid answers a lookup for an unregistered name differently from one for a name it refuses to allocate, and that difference is what separates the 269 free names below from the 17 that are closed to everyone. A name with no nameservers is not automatically free, which is why the registry has the last word here rather than the domain name system.
Why short .no names are still available at all
Norway started issuing .no domains in 1987, and the readable short names went early. What remains is almost entirely built from letters Norwegian barely uses. Q, w, x and z appear in the language mainly in loan words and names, so a combination like qvj or zwk was never going to be anybody’s brand. Scarcity by itself is not demand.
The pattern is visible in the list: names containing q are free almost without exception, while the few pronounceable ones left can be counted on one hand.
Two character names
There are none. Every one of the 676 possible pairs is registered or reserved, and they have been for years. Anyone offering to sell you a two letter .no domain is selling a name somebody else already holds, which is a transfer and a negotiation rather than a registration.
Names Norid will not allocate
A handful of names return neither free nor taken. Norid refuses them outright: the internet terms com, net, org, edu, gov, int and ftp, abbreviations of Norwegian company forms, names matching Norwegian municipalities and places, and a few words that are crude in Norwegian. They cannot be bought at any price, and the registry says so plainly when asked.
What a short domain is actually worth
A short domain earns its keep when it means something to the people typing it. An abbreviation your customers already use is worth having, because it survives being read aloud on the phone, printed on a van or spoken in an advertisement. A random string of three letters does none of that, however rare it is.
Domain length is not a search ranking factor. What helps a foreign company in Norwegian search results is a Norwegian address and content written for Norwegian readers, which is the subject of our guide to search in Norway.
When a short name is the right choice
Three good reasons: your company is already known by an abbreviation, you need a short address for links and campaigns, or you want a memorable redirect pointing at a longer Norwegian site. All three are ordinary business uses rather than speculation.
When it is not
Buying an unrelated short name in the hope of reselling it is a different business from running a website, and Norid limits each organisation to 100 domains precisely to keep the register from filling with names nobody uses. We register domains for people who intend to use them.
How a foreign company gets one of these
A .no domain must be held by a Norwegian organisation or a person resident in Norway. That rule has no exception for short names, which is why so many of them sit unclaimed while the equivalent .com went decades ago. Two routes exist for a company abroad: register a Norwegian entity of your own, or use a Norwegian trustee.
As trustee we are the holder on the registry record, while the domain is yours in every way that matters. You choose the name, you set the nameservers, you decide where it points, and you can take it elsewhere whenever you want. The arrangement is written down in our trustee agreement, and the alternatives are compared in how to get a .no domain.
What it costs
$89 a year for any name on this list, registration, trustee and renewals included. Norid charges the same registry fee for a three letter name as for a thirty letter one, so we do too.
What happens after you order
We confirm the name is still free at the registry before anything is registered, and if it has gone in the meantime nothing is charged. When it goes through, the domain is live the same day and your nameservers are set to whatever you tell us, whether that is your own host, a redirect or a parked page.
Names not yet on this page
Three groups are still being checked, and they will appear under the filters above as each pass finishes:
Names with numbers
Norid allows digits, so names like 3d, 24 or 7f are valid .no domains. They are checked separately because the combinations run into the thousands once digits join the alphabet.
Names with æ, ø and å
The three Norwegian letters are permitted in .no domains and are far less contested, partly because a foreign keyboard cannot type them easily. For a company selling to Norwegians, a name spelled the Norwegian way can be worth more than the anglicised version.
Four character names
Four letters give 456,976 combinations, so rather than checking all of them we are working through the pronounceable ones first, which are the only ones anybody would want.
Questions
Can a foreign company register a three letter .no domain?
Not directly. Every .no domain has to be held by a Norwegian organisation or a person living in Norway, and that applies to short names exactly as it does to any other. The route that exists is a Norwegian trustee: we stand as the registered holder and you decide how the domain is used, where it points and when it moves.
What does a short .no domain cost?
The same as any other .no domain through us: $89 a year, covering the registration, the trustee arrangement and renewals. Norid does not charge premium prices for short names, so nobody legitimately selling you a registration should either.
Are there any two letter .no domains left?
No. All 676 combinations of two letters are either registered or on Norid's list of names nobody may register. The two character space in .no has been closed for years.
Why does Norid refuse some names entirely?
Norid keeps a set of names off the market, among them the old internet terms com, net, org, edu, gov, int and ftp, abbreviations of Norwegian company forms, and names that match Norwegian places. A refused name is not for sale at any price, and a lookup will say it is not available for registration rather than that it is taken.
How current is this list?
It was confirmed with Norid on 2026-09-23. Any of these names can be registered by somebody else minutes later, which is why every name has a re-check button that asks the registry live before you commit.
What happens if the name is gone when I order?
Nothing is charged for a name we cannot register. We confirm availability at the registry before the registration goes through, and if it has gone in the meantime you are refunded in full.
Is a short domain better for search rankings?
No. Length is not a ranking factor. A short domain is easier to say, type and print, and that is where its value sits. What does matter for visibility in Norway is a Norwegian address and Norwegian content.
Looking for a particular name rather than a short one? Check it on the front page and we will tell you straight away whether it is free, or order one from this list.
