==Second-level domains==
There are three types of [[second-level domain]]s: geography-oriented, category-oriented and those managed by other agencies than Norid. There are reserved geographic second-level domains for all counties (such as {{mono|oslo.no}} for [[Oslo]] and {{mono|nt.no}} for [[Nord-Trøndelag]]), all [[list of towns and cities in Norway|urban areas with at least 5,000 inhabitants]] (such as {{mono|orkanger.no}} for [[Orkanger]]) and all [[municipalities of Norway|municipalities]] (such as {{mono|bergen.no}} for [[Bergen Municipality]] and both {{mono|inderoy.no}} and {{mono|inderøy.no}} for [[Inderøy Municipality]]). In addition, {{mono|svalbard.no}} has been reserved for [[Svalbard]] and {{mono|jan-mayen.no}} for [[Jan Mayen]]. Users are asked to not register with a geographic second-level domain unless they have a local presence in the area.<ref name=policy /><ref name=appendixb>{{cite web |url=http://www.norid.no/regelverk/vedlegg-b.en.html |title=Appendix B: The geographical second level domains |publisher=[[Norid]] |access-date=25 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121116161110/http://www.norid.no/regelverk/vedlegg-b.en.html |archive-date=2012-11-16 |url-status=live }}</ref> The {{mono|www}} name under a geographic second-level domain (such as {{mono|www.lillehammer.no}}) may only be carried out by the local government of the area, such as the municipality, the [[county municipality (Norway)|county municipality]] and the [[Governor of Svalbard]].<ref name=appendixb />

The category second-level domains require the user to meet specific characteristics; for instance, only upper secondary schools may register under {{mono|vgs.no}}.<ref name=policy /> Most of the second-level domains are managed by Norid, although five domains are managed by three other government agencies, the [[Government Administration Services]] for central parts of the government, the [[Norwegian Armed Forces]] for their own sites and the [[Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities]] for municipalities and county municipalities.<ref name=appendixd>{{cite web |url=http://www.norid.no/regelverk/vedlegg-b.en.html |title=Appendix D: Category second-level domains managed by parties other than Norid |publisher=[[Norid]] |access-date=25 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121117013637/http://www.norid.no/regelverk/vedlegg-d.en.html |archive-date=2012-11-17 |url-status=live }}</ref>
