Template:Infobox Top level domain
.tk is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Tokelau.
Tokelau gives most domain names under .tk away to anyone for free. Free domains are pointed to Tokelau nameservers, which redirect HTTP traffic via HTML frames to a specified web page, and redirects 5 email addresses to external addresses. Because of this use of redirection, use of free .tk domains for other services (such as hosting servers for other protocols such as FTP and IRC, or creating hostnames and subdomains within them) is not offically possible, however with the use of a PHP script it is possible to have subdomains on a free domain.
To be able to use one's own nameservers, or get a "special" .tk domain name, for example, trademark domain names for most Fortune 500 companies, the user must buy it. Paid domain names start at $9.95 per year.
