Rules and Restrictions
Anyone can be a registrant of a .ck. However, the price is much higher for non-residents.

A domain name will be deactivated if the registry considers it is being used for illegal purposes.[2]

- .edu: education institutions and related organizations;
- .org: not-for-profit organizations and interests;
- .net: organizations and service providers with purposes related to the Cook Islands Internet;
- .gen: individuals and organizations not covered elsewhere.
