Research brief
The .tk facts that change the decision
This page separates registry policy, public market evidence and registrar pricing. A sample is labeled as a sample; a rule is labeled as a rule; and a checkout quote is never presented as a registry statistic.

IANA publishes these .tk registry lookup endpoints. A lookup does not settle final availability, rights or checkout price.

IANA .tk delegation recordDelegation manager
Telecommunication Tokelau Corporation (Teletok)
IANA records Teletok as the .tk ccTLD manager. Its current public delegation record was last updated in February 2019, so a buyer should confirm present-day registration availability with the chosen provider.

BV Dot TK (registry statement)
Dot TK's published registry information says the Tokelau government appointed BV Dot TK as the exclusive registration entity. This statement identifies the registry relationship, not a guarantee that a particular retail route is currently open.

How to find a strong available .tk
Treat availability as the start of the decision, not the finish. A usable name also needs to be easy to communicate, defensible and fairly priced.
- 01
Start with a name that earns .tk
Confirm that the registrar grants durable control and a normal renewal path; do not build critical email around an unverified offer.
- 02
Search the exact label first
Keep the search scoped to this extension, then compare the exact label with closely related endings before accepting a spelling compromise.
- 03
Check rights and pronunciation
An available result is not trademark clearance. Say the name aloud, check local implications and review the registrar’s final eligibility rules.
Pricing explained
What does a .tk domain cost?
The useful number is the full cost of ownership, not the largest promotional figure on a registrar banner.
Price coverage is not available for .tk yet. This page does not invent a number. A verified row will appear after the next registrar collection or an admin-approved override; the registrar checkout remains the final source for the exact name, premium status, tax and renewal terms.
Compare the full .tk ownership cost
Verify whether the quoted price is promotional, recurring or subject to provider-specific conditions before purchase.
