Dot TK Registers 15 Millionth Domain Name

Top Level Domain Registry is ready to continue to grow

LONDON, May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Dot TK, the registry for .TK domain names,
today announced that they have registered their 15 millionth domain name. In
the last couple of weeks, Dot TK has seen a growth of new registrations of
more than 40%.

Dot TK's free service is used to rename long web addresses into a simple and
short .TK domain name. A short web address is faster and easier to communicate
than a long one. Dot TK domains are extremely useful in Internet
conversations, such as forum threads, IM chats and on social networks. Dot TK
is also a life-saver in a communication channel where you are limited to a
specific number of characters per session, like Twitter.

"We have seen an enormous growth in the last couple of weeks, and we expect to
continue to grow further," says Joost Zuurbier, CEO of Dot TK. "In the last
couple of weeks we have expanded our technical infrastructure and we are now
ready for even bigger growth in the future."

The new infrastructure has been facilitated at LeaseWeb, a company that owns
and operates one of the largest IP networks in the world. LeaseWeb has more
than 500 Gbps bandwidth capacity, enough to service the millions of Dot TK
users.

To prevent some users from registering thousands of domains, all domains that
are registered should be visited at least 25 times in every
90-day period. Paid domains do not have this minimum requirement. Also, paid
domain name registrants get the full license rights of the domain, similar to
other top level domain registries.

"We are proud to have Dot TK on board. They are the first Top Level Domain
Registry we have added to our customer portfolio," says Ruud Mous, Sales
Director of Leaseweb. "It's important for a domain registry or domain
registrar to be really available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With our
expanded redundant network, our efficient network management and our quality
and assurance team we know we are the perfect choice for this type of
business."

Leaseweb belongs to one of the largest hosting providers in Europe. Next to
many Dutch customers, Leaseweb has attracted a lot of international companies
that require excellent bandwidth capacity and uptime. Customers include
Starbucks, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Alcatel-Lucent.

Dot TK is a joint venture of the Government of Tokelau, its communication
company Teletok and BV Dot TK, a privately held company. The registry office
is located in London, United Kingdom.
