| Registry | DK Hostmaster |
The process to activate your .DK domain is easy. The listed registrant should have received an email from info@dk-hostmaster.dk shortly after you purchased your domain. There's an attachment to this email that contains your user ID and password to your registry account, as well as steps to activate your domain. If you are unable to locate this email, please contact info@dk-hostmaster.dk to request your login information. Please follow the steps and activate your domain as soon as possible. Failure to do so within 4 days of purchasing the domain will result in your domain name being deleted without refund.
Note: You should not update the Billing contact information as this will transfer the domain name to the Registry and you won't be able to manage it through your ITEGY account. 1API GmbH (aka Hexonet) is the partner we use in order to offer .DK domains. If you have accidentally transferred the domain away, please contact our customer support for further assistance.
