How to choose the right registrar for your .dk domain – a checklist

When Punktum dk asks you to choose a registrar, you get a long list of names. Prices and terms vary widely, and your choice determines what you pay every year from now on. Here are the questions to ask before you decide.

1. Is the registrar a direct registrar with Punktum dk?

Some providers are approved by Punktum dk themselves; others resell through a third party. A direct registrar has its own access to Punktum dk's systems, which typically means faster changes and fewer links in the chain if something goes wrong. my.host is a direct registrar.

2. What does renewal cost – every year?

Don't just look at the first-year offer. Ask for the standard renewal price, and check whether it includes VAT. For comparison: with my.host, renewal costs DKK 79 per year incl. VAT.

3. Are there fees for transfer, setup or cancellation?

Transferring a .dk domain to a registrar should be free – it is with my.host. Watch out for setup fees, "administration fees" and fees if you later want to move again.

4. Do you have to buy something else to get the domain?

Some registrars require you to also have hosting or a subscription with them. You don't need to. With my.host you can hold the domain on its own.

5. Do you keep control of DNS?

If you use an external DNS provider, for example for email or a web shop, the registrar must leave your name servers alone and let you change them yourself. Ask whether you get access to a control panel.

6. What is the support like?

Domains are something you rarely touch – but when you do, it is often urgent. Check opening hours, contact options and reviews on sites like Trustpilot.

7. Can you move again?

Yes, you always can under Punktum dk's rules. But check the registrar's own terms for lock-in and cancellation.

8. Can you bring everything together in one place?

If you have several domains, hosting or email with different providers, the switch is a good moment to consolidate. One invoice, one login and one place to get help saves time every year.
