Domain management and digital IP services

Domain management - in one portal

As part of Bryn Aarflot Digital IP Services, you get one consolidated portal for your full domain portfolio, with clear visibility of domain names, renewal dates, status and relevant portfolio data. We handle registrations, transfers, renewals and ownership updates, coordinate with registrars, and provide clear reporting, helping you reduce the risk of missed deadlines and unnecessary internal follow-up.

Monitoring and takedown - more proactive online protection

We provide domain and internet monitoring that captures third-party registrations and websites resembling yours, and we alert you early when we detect potential misuse, impersonation or phishing. When action is required, we support effective enforcement across digital channels – including technical takedowns, dialogue with platforms and providers, cease-and-desist letters, and legal steps where necessary. Our takedown packages can be offered at a fixed price based on an agreed volume, giving predictable cost and response time.

Why Bryn Aarflot

As a full-service IP firm, we support you seamlessly across innovation, brand development and enforcement – offline and online – and ensure that domain strategy and trademark protection work together, so your digital presence is consistent and resilient. When technical execution and legal assessment are delivered as one, decisions become clearer, actions more targeted, and the risk of errors and delays is reduced.

We also build the service on operational control: structured portfolio governance, registrar coordination and reporting, anchored in Bryn Aarflot’s established client service over more than 75 years.

Services

We provide strategic advisory services to ensure domain work is aligned with business objectives, governance and risk appetite, including domain acquisitions and negotiation support, domain strategy, transaction due diligence, and landscape audits that identify gaps, overlaps and vulnerabilities in the portfolio.

We deliver end-to-end portfolio management through global domain registrations, transfers and renewals, owner and contact updates, local presence services where required, and DNS assistance when needed.

We offer continuous monitoring of registries, websites and relevant digital channels to detect potential infringement and abuse early, followed by enforcement – from takedown and cease-and-desist letters to more formal proceedings where the situation calls for it.

What you get with us

You gain access to a broad selection of top-level domains (1000+ TLDs) through a single provider structure, dedicated support, robust renewal routines, and rapid handling of abuse – including takedowns and disputes – when it occurs.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is a domain name? A domain name is a unique, human-readable identifier on the internet used to access websites and as a basis for email and other digital services. In practice, it is a core element of a company’s digital identity.

How much does a domain cost? Prices vary by TLD and registrar, but common options such as .com often fall in the range of NOK 200-300 per year. The real cost is typically the risk and internal administration if the portfolio is not governed properly.

Why are domain names important? Domain names function as your digital “nameplate”, a trust signal, and the entry point to business-critical services. Even organisations without a purely digital delivery model rely on domains for visibility, communication and protection against impersonation.

Why use a corporate domain provider or domain manager? A corporate domain provider reduces the risk of administrative errors, failed renewals and third-party abuse, and takes on the operational burden of oversight, governance and ongoing maintenance. For most organisations, it is the most efficient way to secure a stable and safe digital presence.

“The domain portfolio is the cornerstone of a company’s digital brand and a channel for delivering services to the market. Our objective is to help clients build a digital presence that is cohesive and secure, by making legal and technical expertise work seamlessly together.” - Richard Magnusson
