What is .bu.no TLD
We define .bu.no as a distinct namespace within the global domain landscape, treated here as a unique top-level identifier that blends a regional code with a sub-branding element. In our analysis, .bu.no domains are those registered under this namespace, while related .bu.no websites refer to active hosting or landing pages linked to those registrations. By separating domain registrations from their hosted content, we gain clarity on registry activity versus site deployment. Our current view shows 4 active registrations, reflecting early-stage uptake and potential for growth. The footprint across DNS-enabled entries is 4, with activity observed in 2 countries. This baseline supports comparative studies across similar namespaces. Download the .bu.no domain datasets from Webatla.
History and key features of .bu.no TLD
From a historical perspective, the .bu.no namespace reflects a niche deployment within the broader .no ecosystem, where registrants have shown methodical, incremental adoption rather than rapid expansion. We categorize entries as .bu.no domains and their associated .bu.no websites to track both registration activity and content deployment. The timeline indicates minimal new registrations recently, with 0 registered in the last week and 0 in November 2025 in the previous month, suggesting a stable baseline rather than speculative growth. Domain infrastructure shows a solid DNS footprint, with 4 domains configured to respond, complementing the counts of total active domains and live sites, 4 and 4. This framing supports comparisons across namespaces and informs planning for future extensions. Download the .bu.no domain datasets from Webatla.
Why and who choose the .bu.no domain
Why and who choose the .bu.no domain reveals a measured risk calculus among institutions seeking a regional presence within a Norwegian namespace. In practice, owners of .bu.no domains and their corresponding .bu.no websites often have cross-border or research-oriented aims, rather than mass consumer use. Our metrics show the footprint is concentrated across 2 countries, with a total of 4 registered domains and 4 active sites, and a DNS-enabled subset totaling 4. Last week produced 0 new entries and last month saw 0 in November 2025, highlighting a cautious, data-driven adoption pattern. This profile informs policymakers and researchers about the core user base of the .bu.no domains and the associated .bu.no websites. Download the .bu.no domain datasets from Webatla.
