What does moving a domain mean?

When you move your domain, you change which registrar is responsible for it at Norid, which manages all .no domains. You keep the domain, and you are still the holder. The only things that change are who you pay for the domain and where you manage it.
Moving is free. You have already paid your current provider until the domain renews. Your first payment of 99 NOK at Nettify happens on that date.

Free to move

Nothing is charged when you move. You pay 99 NOK a year from the expiry date your domain already has.

Done in minutes

Once you have pasted the code from Norid, the domain moves right away.
Only .no domains can be moved to Nettify. If you have a .com or another ending, you can connect the domain to Nettify instead.

Before you start: check your email

Nettify does not host email. We use external email, such as Gmail through Google Workspace, and have a separate guide for email on your own domain. If you use email on the domain today, for example [email protected], you need to know where it is hosted before you move.
Then you are all set. Your email keeps working after the move, as long as you also move DNS to Nettify, see step 7.
We recommend moving your email to Gmail with Google Workspace before you move the domain. Follow the guide Email on your own domain.If you would rather keep your email where it is, you must keep the email plan with your current provider. If you do neither, your email may stop working.
You don’t need to find out yourself. When you check the domain in step 4, Nettify shows where your email seems to be hosted and tells you if you need to do anything.

Add your card

Click Continue to card details. Stripe saves your card, and nothing is charged today.If the domain expires within a few days, you pay 99 NOK for the next year right away. The screen tells you clearly if this applies to you.

Confirm that you own the domain

Choose Code from Norid and click Send code. Norid sends a one-time code to the email address the domain holder has registered with Norid.Open the email from Norid, copy the code and paste it into Nettify. Click Transfer domain.The domain moves right away.

Move DNS to Nettify

After the move, the domain still uses the old provider’s nameservers. They can stop responding at any time.Click Move DNS. Nettify copies the records we can find, including those for email, so your website and email keep working. This takes up to 2 minutes.
Do you have a transfer code from your old provider? Then you can choose Transfer code in step 6 instead of Code from Norid. The code is also called an AUTH code or authInfo. Both options work equally well.
The code is sent directly to Norid. Nettify never stores it.

After the move

  • The domain is listed under Domains and marked as moved to Nettify.
  • The expiry date stays the same. You don’t lose any time you have already paid for.
  • You pay 99 NOK a year from the expiry date. Cancel the domain plan with your old provider once the move is complete, so you don’t pay twice for next year. If your email is still with them, keep the email plan until you have moved your email to Gmail.
  • Want to use the domain for your website? Connect it to your project under Domains.
