The .dk extension is Denmark’s country code top-level domain. It was delegated in 1987, and its registry is operated by Punktum dk (formerly DK Hostmaster). There are now more than 1.3 million .dk domain names registered.

The .dk domain is recommended for those wishing to establish a presence in the Danish market: the local extension is the norm amongst Danish users, whilst international extensions are far less common. The registration process differs from the usual one, as the owner must specifically approve the application – you’ll find the details below.
