15 Millionth .TK Domain Registered
11 May, 2009
Today, the Dot TK registry announced the registration of the 15 millionth .tk domain.
Dot-TK is the ccTLD for Tokelau, a New Zealand territory located far out in the Pacific. With only 1400 inhabitants and a GDP of $1.5 million, the group of three atolls partnered with BV Dot TK and Teletok several years ago to offer .tk domains to the world.
These domains are free, but do not provide the same functionality as a typical domain. Instead, .tk domains use a simple redirect script to point to another address. Users are not allowed to specify their own DNS servers. They are popular with webmasters on free hosting and also for renaming long URLs, but provide no FTP access, for example.
