    5 Stars TK and God Save the Queen 08/08/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Nothing found

    I am sure that many people love to have their own personal homepages. Nowadays many free web-hosting services are available on Internet. As the fact of using free services, we are only allowed to use their sub-domain names to refer our sites, such as http://www.djohan.netfirms.com or http://www.user.deluxnetwork.com/~djohan​. What a long URL! Well, some serious homepage owners would pay for having a DOT COM, DOT NET, DOT ORG, and some other common domain names. Certainly it is a good idea though we must pay for a nice domain name. What do you think of this one, http://www.djohan.tk ? I have got ... more

    5 Stars DOT TK, Whats a DOT TK? 17/01/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages They are free and can give your webpage a professional look

    Disadvantages Disadvantages If you dont receive 25 visitors in 90 days your .tk can be claimed by someone else

    If you have heard people talking about .tk or read anything about them on the internet then you are probably curious as to what it is for. Because there are different endings for each country, E.g. .fr is for France, .de is for Germany, .co.uk is for the uk, but what could .tk stand for. Turkey perhaps, nope, it stands for Tokelau. Tokelau is made up of 3 small atolls located in the south pacific and their total area is 10 sq km, with their highest point being just 5m above sea level. There is a population for all 3 atolls of just 1,405 people. In September 2003 a group of people from the Dot ... more

    4 Stars Need a domain name? Dot.tk is the name! 17/01/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages free domain names | loads of features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages could loose free domain name after 90 days | only allowd 3 free domains per account

    This is a review on the website www.tk or www.dot.tk to some. This site gives you loads of stuff that is useful for your website, and that thing is a Domain Name. You can sign up free for 3 free Domain Names. There are some disadvantages to this website also, but I will discuss more about that later down in the review. This website allows you to get free domain names, that are reasonable, some of them you will need to pay for, so if they don’t allow you to get it as a free domain, and then change the title a bit, then you will have your domain name. But before you can do all that, you will ... more

    4 Stars Freedomains.tk 21/06/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free domain

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    www.dot.tk offers internet users free domain names that end in .tk (e.g. sfcsfc.tk my website). There is the obvious advantage of being able to make your own personal website name a lot more easy to remeber and more accessible to the masses if you do not want to pay for a domain. It looks more professional if your website ends .tk rather than .co.uk/freewebssfcsfc. You will be able to keep your free domain as long as you have 25 hits to your website every 90 days, meaning that it is easy to keep even if your website does not appeal in the early stages you can easily visit it yourself this ... more

    4 Stars Free, short domain name 21/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free short domain, can be anonymous

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Advertising banner is unprofessional

    Dot.tk provides its users with a free domain name, and it's services can be used either to shorten a long domain name or to act as the primary domain name for a site. For the webmaster of a small site, particularly if it is just a personal site, this can be very useful. The company is based in Tokelau in South-East Asia but is part of a join venture with its government. If you are like me, then you probably won't have even heard of this place before - and that is this companies (and their government's) mission. By providing free domain names, the people of Tokelau are hoping to get better ... more

    1 Star dot.tk is one giant parking page scheme STEALING your domain 18/03/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Its free.....but nothing is really free is it?

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Once you get good traffic, they steal your domain

    Dot.TK Is a giant parking page SCAM set up to lure you in by offering FREE domains only to bait and switch you once your website traffic starts rolling on in. In my case, they stole several of my high traffic domains without any notice and parked them to earn money from the backlink traffic. No notice was sent to me as to why, nor was I able to reclaim them by any means. My phone calls and faxes fell upon deaf ears as well. Webmasters beware! I confirmed this by setting up a dummy domain and then blasting it with visitors. Once the count got to be above 500 per day, the domain myteriously ... more

    5 Stars .tk - What a brilliant idea 15/08/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free Url Redirection

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not website hosting

    .tk is a fantastic Url redirection website which allows you to sign up to the website for FREE. First you search for your .tk url (eg, yourdomain.tk) Then you see if it is available or not. If your domain name is available you will need to register with the website. Once you have registered and completed all the stages that should be your .tk set up and accessible! The only thing is you need to have at least 25 unique hosts to your website and .tk is not a website hoster it is only an Url Redirection service. As i have a few .tk websites i know that .tk is a fantastic website and they notify ... more

    4 Stars A free redirect url or domain name 16/01/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The domain name You wont is Free and short

    Disadvantages Disadvantages This offers no web hosting at all so its really in the wrong section

    http://www.dot.tk/ When i first set up a website for a bit of fun i was not getting any hits because of my ridiculas domain name www.freewebs.com/???????? and search engines refused to accept this address. well until i got my .tk. If you are not a web designer look away now things may get a little technical and no a .tk is not a turkish website befor you ask. Well to start a .tk is not a web hosting package it is a redirect url to your current website or some would describe it as a domain name. so if you have a website hosted on freewebs or bravenet and you have a silly sub url such as www ... more

    1 Star dot.tk is one giant parking page scheme STEALING your domain 30/04/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Its free for the first little bit

    Disadvantages Disadvantages They steal your domain as soon as it gets popular! And without notice!

    Ive also had an experience like the one above, "dot.tk is one giant parking page scheme STEALING your domain" One of my domain names, hidelink.tk was parked without notice! dot.tk Just suddenly for no apparent reason and no warnings at all, REMOVED the domain from my account and put a parking page on it! So my hidelink.tk domain name was just starting to get popular! and Poof! GONE! Just as it started to get some decent traffic... As for the customer support, ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! There customer support is just for show; if you go on the contact page, there are NO EMAIL addresses to contact. I ... more
