About the .FK domain

What is the .FK domain?

.fk is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of the Falkland Islands, registered with IANA on March 26, 1997. It is managed by the Falkland Islands Government, with technical infrastructure operated by Sure South Atlantic Ltd.

It is not possible to register a domain directly under .fk: registration happens at the third level, choosing among six second-level labels depending on the organization type — .co.fk for commercial organizations, .org.fk for non-profit entities, .gov.fk for government bodies, .ac.fk for academic institutions, .nom.fk for individuals, and .net.fk for ISPs and network organizations. Registration requires being a resident of the Falkland Islands, or having an obvious reason linked to the territory: for example, an overseas-based hosting provider administering a website about the islands, or an international company with genuine business activity in the territory. Names with no apparent link to the Falklands are generally not approved, and the requested name is expected to identify the applicant in some way.
