A .dk domain at RichHost costs $38.50 a year, and renewal and transfer cost the same $38.50. .dk is the country code of Denmark, run by the registry Punktum dk. You do not have to live in Denmark to hold one: any person or company can apply through a registrar. Two rules set .dk apart from most zones: a name is registered for one year at a time, and the registrant’s identity can be checked before and after registration.

Punktum dk rules for .dk (checked 12 November 2026)
These points come from the Punktum dk terms and conditions, version 15, in force since 1 July 2026, and the list of approved characters, version 2.1:
| Rule | What applies |
|---|---|
| Who can register | Any natural or legal person (clause 1.3). There is no Danish residence or citizenship requirement, and the registrar may be based inside or outside the EU. |
| Address and identity | Registrants who live outside Denmark or are not in the Danish CPR or CVR registers give a postal address. The registrar and Punktum dk may check the data and identity, also by electronic ID (clauses 4.3 and 4.4); a check that is not completed can end the right of use. |
| Characters | Letters a to z, all Danish letters (æ, ø, å), the letters ö, ä, ü, é and ß, digits 0 to 9 and the hyphen. |
| Length and hyphens | Up to 63 characters. A hyphen may not be the first or last character, and the third and fourth characters may not both be hyphens. |
| Registration period | One year at a time (clause 3.3). Renewal is possible from two months before expiry, and the fee is paid in advance. |
| After expiry | A name that is not renewed is suspended for 30 days (clause 5.5). If the renewal and the reinstatement fee are not paid in that time, it is deleted and becomes free for anyone (clause 5.7). |
| Change of registrant | The registrant can transfer the name to another person. The new registrant accepts the terms and passes the identity check; the prepaid period carries over (clauses 7.1 and 7.2). |
| Registrar change | The registrant can move the name to another registrar at any time (clause 2.4). |
Plan for the identity check: use your real name and an address you can be reached at. Danish residents confirm their identity with MitID, and Punktum dk can also ask for documents or an e-mail or phone confirmation. A domain whose check is not completed can be suspended and, after 30 days, deleted. To move a .dk you already hold, see our guide to transferring a domain to another registrar.
Who .dk suits, and the alternatives
.dk makes sense for a shop, service or freelancer with customers in Denmark, and for companies from other countries that open a Danish version of their site. Names with æ, ø or å are possible, which helps Danish brands keep their spelling. A business that sells across the Nordics often keeps .com as the main site and adds .dk for Danish visitors.
| Zone | Registration per year | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| .dk | $38.50 | Customers in Denmark |
| .se | $55.00 | Customers in Sweden |
| .de | $24.75 | Customers in Germany |
| .nl | $16.50 | Customers in the Netherlands |
| .com | $21.07 | International audience |

How to register a .dk with RichHost
- Check availability in the search form on the RichHost domains page: type the full name, such as example.dk.
- Order the domain and enter the real details of the registrant, including a postal address, and be ready to confirm your identity if Punktum dk asks.
- Point the domain to your hosting with nameservers or an A record, as shown in how to change domain nameservers.
Renew every year before the expiry date: .dk has no multi-year registration, so there is no way to prepay several years in one go. RichHost gives free WHOIS privacy in every zone whose registry supports it.
.dk domain with hosting
RichHost hosting starts at $8 a month, with 10% off for yearly payment, on servers in Europe (Helsinki, Warsaw, Paris) and the USA. Every plan has NVMe disks, unlimited sites, mailboxes and traffic, free Let’s Encrypt SSL and our own control panel with an AI assistant. The free domain with a yearly plan covers only .com, .org and .info, so a .dk is paid separately; a yearly payment with a free domain is non-refundable, and the 14-day money-back guarantee does not apply to it. See the hosting plans and domain and hosting.
.dk domain FAQ
Can I register a .dk domain if I do not live in Denmark?
Yes. Any person or company can apply. If you are not in the Danish CPR or CVR registers, you give a postal address, and your identity may be checked.
Can I register a .dk for several years?
No. Punktum dk registers .dk names for one year at a time, so you renew each year, at the earliest two months before expiry.
Are æ, ø and å allowed in .dk names?
Yes. All Danish letters are allowed, as are ö, ä, ü, é and ß.
What happens when a .dk expires?
It is suspended for 30 days. You can still bring it back in that time by paying the renewal and a reinstatement fee; after that the name is deleted and anyone can register it.
How much does a .dk transfer cost?
$38.50, the same as a year of registration.
