How much does it cost to operate a website?
After the website is launched, it requires regular follow-up, especially if you want it to perform over time. This is the typical price for the operation and maintenance of a website.

What does a domain cost?
To publish a website on the internet, you need a domain, the address people type into the browser, like www.wud.no. A .no domain usually costs between 100 - 500 NOK per year, and can be registered via a number of Norwegian providers such as Domeneshop, PRO ISP, or Uniweb. With some partners, the domain cost is included in a total package, which is smart to clarify. If you want multiple domains (e.g., .no, .com, and .net) to protect your brand, you can expect slightly higher annual costs.
