The Government of Tokelau has appointed Taloha, Inc. as the exclusive registration entity." Of course, for free .tk domains, ownership remains with Dot TK. This means that you can't sell it. As well, there are other restrictions and disadvantages of free .tk domains, including: -You can register only a maximum of three free domain names; -You need 25 visitors within a ninety day period; -You need to have existing web content somewhere so that your dot tk name can be forwarded to it; and -Dot TK uses frames to show your website.
