20 years ago it became possible for everyone to register a .dk-domain, which we are celebrating today - 15th of January 2017. Earlier only so-called legal institutions as for instance companies could get access to a domain name on the Danish part of the internet - and they were only allowed to have one domain name each.
The liberalization of .dk meant that the amount of Danish domain names increased rapidly. January 1997 there were only 7.736 .dk-domain names registered. In the end of 1999 that number had grown to 140.000 and today there are 1,3 million .dk domain names.
Denmark as a frontrunner
Denmark was one of the first countries to give everyone access to register a .dk-domain and today there is almost one domain for every fourth Danish citizen. That is much more compared with the countries to whom we normally compare. For instance, there is only about one .no domain per eight Norwegian citizen and one .se domain per seventh citizen in Sweden.
DK Hostmaster and DIFO have administered the .dk-domain since 1999.
