AI overview
.dk is Denmark's internet domain extension, similar to how .com or .org work for websites. To get a .dk domain, you apply through an approved registrar, and the registration is managed either by that registrar or directly by Punktum dk, the organization that oversees all .dk domains.

==History== The country code top-level domain .dk was created July 14, 1987, at ARPA Network Information Center, Stanford Research Institute (SRI-NIC). The Danish UNIX User Group (DKUUG) at Datalogisk Institut, Københavns Universitet (DIKU) received management of the .dk domain on the DKnet, at that time an informal name used for the UUCP network used at DIKU and other places in Denmark. The name DKnet has been in use since at least 1985.
