# Buy a domain

> Buy your own .no domain directly in Nettify — for 99 kr per year or free with the Nettsidebygger plan

## Why do you need your own domain?

A domain is the address people type in to find your website — for example **mycompany.no**. Your own domain gives your business a professional look and makes it easy for customers to find you.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **You can now buy your domain directly in Nettify.** Everything is under **Domain** in your dashboard — no external provider and no technical setup.

***

## What does a domain cost?

> [!WARNING]
>
> **This is the price of a domain — not the price of a Nettify plan.** If you are wondering what Nettify costs per month, see [Plans and pricing](https://docs.nettify.no/en/planer/oversikt.md): Free 0 kr, Nettsidebygger 399 kr/month and Levert 800 kr/month.

> [card] 99 kr per year
>
> Buy your own **.no domain** directly in Nettify. One fixed price per year, with no hidden costs.

> [card] Free with Nettsidebygger
>
> On the **Nettsidebygger** plan? Your domain is included for free for as long as your subscription is active.

## How to buy a domain in Nettify

**1. Go to Domain in your dashboard**

Log in at [nettify.no](https://nettify.no) and open **Domain** in your dashboard.

**2. Search for the domain you want**

Type in your desired domain name, for example "mycompany.no". You'll immediately see if it's available.

**3. Choose your domain**

Found an available domain you like? Select it and continue to checkout.

**4. Complete your purchase**

Pay 99 kr for the year — or get the domain free if you're on the Nettsidebygger plan. Nettify handles the registration for you.

**5. Done — your domain is connected automatically**

Domains you buy in Nettify are connected to your website automatically. You don't need to do any technical setup yourself.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **It can take up to 24 hours before the domain works.** Once you have bought a .no domain and connected it to your project, the registration and setup has to go through **Norid**, the registry that administers all .no domains. Until that is finished, typing in the address will not bring up your website.
>
> This is completely normal, and there is nothing you need to do. It is usually faster than 24 hours.

> [!TIP]
>
> **Your website is not unavailable in the meantime.** It is still live at [your nettify.no address](https://docs.nettify.no/en/publisering/nettify-subdomene.md), so you can share that link until the domain is ready.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Already have a domain elsewhere?** You don't need to buy a new one. You can connect an existing domain to Nettify instead.

> [card] [Connect an existing domain](https://docs.nettify.no/en/domene/koble-til-domene.md)
>
> Follow our simple guide to connect your domain to Nettify.

## Tips for choosing a domain name

> [accordion] Keep it short and simple
>
> A short domain name is easier to remember and type. **mycompany.no** is better than **my-company-services-and-consulting.no**.

> [accordion] Use your business name
>
> The most natural choice is to use your company name. That way customers find you easily.

> [accordion] Avoid hyphens if possible
>
> Domains without hyphens are easier to remember and communicate verbally.

> [accordion] Choose .no for the Norwegian market
>
> Norwegian customers trust .no domains. It signals that you're a Norwegian business.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Don't wait too long!** Popular domain names get taken quickly. If you find a good name that's available, register it right away.

## Frequently asked questions

> [accordion] How long before the domain works?
>
> Up to 24 hours. Every .no domain is registered with **Norid**, and their setup has to complete before the address starts working. It is often done within a few hours, but allow for a full day.

> [accordion] I bought the domain but my website does not come up
>
> Has it been less than 24 hours since the purchase? Then it is most likely just the registration with Norid that has not finished yet. Wait a little longer and try again.
>
> If more than a day has passed, get in touch at [support@nettify.no](mailto:support@nettify.no).

> [accordion] Do I have to do anything technical myself?
>
> No. If you buy the domain in Nettify, we handle the registration and connect it to your project. If you already have a domain with another provider, see [Connect a domain](https://docs.nettify.no/en/domene/koble-til-domene.md).

> [accordion] What happens to the domain if I cancel my subscription?
>
> The free .no domain comes with the **Nettsidebygger** and **Levert** plans for as long as the subscription is active. See [Plans and pricing](https://docs.nettify.no/en/planer/oversikt.md).
