The .tk extension belongs to Tokelau. This Pacific island group is an overseas territory of New Zealand, and the extension is freely available for registration by non-residents.
For a long time, .tk was one of the most widely registered extensions in the world. It is short, easy to remember, and can be used for personal websites, small projects or short links alike.

How long will it take to be ready?
New domain registration
The registration of .tk domains is an automated process, so registration is virtually instantaneous; you can start using your new domain name within a few minutes of placing your order.
Domain transfer
To transfer your existing .tk domain name to us, you will need to disable the transfer lock with your current registrar and obtain the authorisation (Auth) code for the domain. The transfer process usually takes a few days.
How many characters can it be?
The domain name extension in .tk must be at least 1 character long and no more than 63 characters long.
Special characters
With a .tk domain extension, special (accented) characters cannot be used in the domain name.

Anyone can register a .tk domain name, regardless of nationality or place of business, with no particular restrictions. Domain names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
