Frequently asked questions

In August 2024, Domainnameshop was acquired by Miss Group. What does this mean for Domainnameshop's customers?

For the time being: nothing. Domainnameshop will still be Domainnameshop. We will continue to be a Norwegian company with servers in Norway, with the same skilled employees, the same robust services and the same low prices. In the long term, the acquisition means that Domainnameshop's customers will have access to a larger product portfolio than today.

Who is Miss Group?

Miss Group is a rapidly growing Nordic web hosting and digital solution provider. Miss Group has its head office in Stockholm and branches in Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Finland, India, Lithuania, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the USA. Miss Group operates a number of brands in Europe and the USA within different market segments and profiles. Miss Group already owns Domene.no in Norway and Miss Hosting in Sweden. The two founders and former owners of Domainnameshop have joined the ownership side of Miss Group as minority shareholders, and will help develop the company further within the Miss Group family, while at the same time aiming to preserve the company's uniqueness and distinct character.

Will the servers still be located in Norway?

Yes. For any foreseeable future Domainnameshop's servers will stay in Norway. As part of Miss Group we will, down the line, be able to offer server locations in other countries. Norwegian customers who wish to store their data in Norway can rest assured that this will always be accommodated.

Do you plan to increase the prices now?

No. Domainnameshop has always been and will continue to be a low-cost player. However, in the last 2-3 years, we like many others in the industry, have had to adjust our prices as a result of high inflation and a weakening of the NOK exchange rate against other currencies. We cannot guarantee that we will not have to change our prices again, but we guarantee that we will still be competitive pricewise.

Are you going to change control panel?

No. We have no immediate plans to switch to a completely new control panel. Instead, we want to further develop our existing control panel with new services and functions as these become available to our customers through the collaboration with the other companies within Miss Group. In the long term, we may also be able to offer cPanel as an option for customers who want this.

What will happen to the ICANN accreditation?

Domainnameshop will retain its ICANN accreditation for gTLD domains, in addition to all national registrar accreditations for ccTLDs. As such, we will still be able to offer registration of e.g. .com, .no, .dk and .se domains without delaying and expensive intermediaries.
