Check a name

One command, straight against the registry — no account, no page to load.

Name

Fills the command and the registrar links below in with your own name. The page is static — nothing is looked up here, and nothing you type leaves the browser.

ds mybrand --tld idrett.no

Add --where for the registrars and the registry's rules, --registry for the server that answered, or --all-info for everything at once.

What it costs

No registrar in the price table bundled with ds quotes .idrett.no, so the CLI prints no figure beside it — one of 927 such TLDs. That is a gap in the table as often as it is a TLD nobody sells. See Prices for supplying your own table with --pricing-file.

Who can register

No eligibility rule is on file for .idrett.no, which is not the same as a promise that it is open: the list is hand-maintained and covers the restricted TLDs a registrar is likely to offer you. Check the registry's own page before counting on a name. 81 TLDs do carry a rule — see Who can register.

How `ds` answers for it

RDAP first, WHOIS second — the same order for every TLD. .idrett.no has no RDAP service, so the answer comes from WHOIS text on port 43.

WHOIS: whois.norid.noQueried on port 43, from the bundled whois.json. The name is called free when the reply contains No match — text matching, which is why RDAP is preferred where it exists.

ds mybrand --tld idrett.no --registry prints whichever of these answered. If a bundled WHOIS host has gone stale, IANA is asked who serves .idrett.no today. See Accuracy notes.

The registry

From IANA's delegation record for .no — .idrett.no is a zone under it, so the registry, the servers and the dates below are .no's. .idrett.no is a country-code TLD.

Run by: Norid A/SBased in Norway. Delegated 1987-03-17, record last updated 2022-01-14.
Registry site: www.norid.noWhere the registry documents .no — its rules, its accredited registrars, and any launch phases. Not a shop: registries sell wholesale to registrars, not to you.
Published services: rdap.norid.no · whois.norid.noWhat the registry itself tells IANA it runs. They agree with what ds asks.
Name servers: i.nic.nonjet.norid.nonot.norid.nox.nic.noy.nic.noz.nic.noThe 6 authoritative servers for the .no zone — what the root delegates to. Nothing ds queries directly; they are what makes a registered name resolve.

What it is

Derived from the root zone and ICANN's registry list — each one is a fact with a source.

country-code IANA Root Zone Database types it "country-code"

In the root zone

The delegation itself, read out of the root zone — serial 2026090900, on 2026-09-09. The registry section above is IANA's record of what .no was delegated to; this is what the root actually answers with when a resolver asks it where .no lives. .idrett.no is not in the root zone — nothing below the top level is. It resolves because .no does, on .no's servers.

The 6 name servers the root hands out for .no, with the glue addresses that come with them — 5 of them answer over IPv6. None of this is what ds queries: these servers know which names exist, not who registered them.
DNSSEC: Signed — 1 DS record in the root

Each one is a fingerprint of .no's own signing key, published by the root and signed with the root's key — which is how a resolver that trusts only one key can prove an answer under .idrett.no came from its registry and was not tampered with in transit. It says nothing about who owns a name or whether one is free.

Ask the root yourself — no registry involved, and the same records this section was built from: dig +norec @a.root-servers.net no. NS and dig +norec @a.root-servers.net no. DS.
