About .tk

.tk is the country code top-level domain for Tokelau, a non-self-governing territory of New Zealand. It is managed by the Telecommunication Tokelau Corporation, known as Teletok. Unlike many other ccTLDs, .tk has become famous worldwide because its registry, operated through the commercial partner Dot TK, offers free domain registrations to anyone. There are no strict geographic restrictions for registration. This free model, supported by advertising on parked domains, made it one of the most popular TLDs by number of registrations, though critics often associate it with spam and low-quality websites. The domain was registered in IANA's root zone on 7 November 1997. Its name servers are distinctively short, a.ns.tk through d.ns.tk, reflecting an early internet economy of scale.

Eligibility & restrictions

No geographic or business restrictions. Free registration typically requires using nameservers with ads on parked pages.
