01 / Overview

What is .sj?

Svalbard is an Arctic island group belonging to Norway, and its country code has never been put into use. .sj is the official internet extension for Svalbard and Jan Mayen.

This extension is not available for public registration. No one can register a .sj name. Norid holds it but has never opened it, because these islands use .no. We keep this page so you can see what .sj is and choose a similar extension that is open.

No Pakistani business can get a .sj name, since Norid keeps the code unused and points people to .no instead. That is the kind of use .sj is built for.

You can register .sj for 1 to 1 years at a time. Renew before the expiry date to keep your website and email running. Late renewal rules depend on the registry, so do not wait for the last day.
