.dk
.dk is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Denmark. Punktum dk has managed .dk since 1999.
History[edit | edit source]
The .dk ccTLD was registered and delegated to the root zone on July 14, 1987. [1]
Domain Name Registrations[edit | edit source]
In January 1997 the registration of .dk domain names was opened up to all registrants. Prior to this, registrations were restricted to legal institutions. Following this move, the number of registrations increased from 7,736 to 140,000 in less than 3 years.
Management History[edit | edit source]
In 1999, the Danish Internet Forum (DIFO) took over the role of administering and established the wholly-owned subsidiary Punktum dk to manage the daily operation. Prior to this, registrations were limited to legal institution.
Transfer Fees[edit | edit source]
Historically, .dk domain names were transferred without a fee. In December 2018, Punktum dk announced that as of 1 January 2019 the registry would introduce a 50 DKK fee for all transfers, in order to cover administrative costs. Merging multiple user accounts into a single user id remained free.[2] As of April 1, 2023, the yearly period fee and transfer fee is 70 DKK.[3] .
