[[Norid]], the [[domain name registry]], is based in [[Trondheim]] and is owned by the state-owned [[Uninett]] and operates under supervision of the [[Norwegian Communications Authority]]. As of December 24, 2022 there were 843,749 registered .no domains. Organizations with a presence in Norway and registration at the [[Brønnøysund Register Centre]] are limited to 100 domains each. Individuals residing in Norway may register in the [[second-level domain]] {{mono|priv.no}} and, as of June 17, 2014, directly under {{mono|.no}}.<ref>[http://www.norid.no/nytt/pressemelding20140606.en.html ".no for everyone"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190530181005/https://www.norid.no/en/nytt/pressemelding20140606 |date=2019-05-30 }}. [[Norid]]. 6 June 2014. Retrieved 22 June 2014.</ref> Other second-level domains exist for organizations of certain types, such as [[municipalities of Norway|municipalities]] and schools. The strict regulations have resulted in near-absence of [[cybersquatting]] and [[domain name warehousing|warehousing]]. Management of a ccTLD was awarded to [[Pål Spilling]] in 1983, but was taken over by Uninett four years later. The 1000th domain was registered in 1995. Norid is the result of several re-organizations within Uninett, in 2003 becoming a separate limited company. Norway has also been allocated two other ccTLDs, {{mono|[[.sj]]}} for [[Svalbard and Jan Mayen]] and {{mono|[[.bv]]}} for [[Bouvet Island]]; neither are open to registration. Originally only a single domain was permitted per organization, and this was manually checked by Norid to ensure compliance with [[trademark]] ownership. The regulations were liberalized in 2001, when the process was automated and a retrospective dispute resolution scheme was introduced. This resulted in a boom of registrations, with the accumulated registrations exceeding 100,000 in the course of the year. Domain names may consist of the twenty-six basic Latin letters, digits and the [[hyphen]], and beginning in 2004 three [[Norwegian language]] letters and twenty [[Sami language]] letters have been permitted. All-numeric domains were introduced in 2007 and {{mono|priv.no}} in 2011.
