sk-domain Domain

The domain extension .sk is the country-specific top-level domain of Slovakia. This domain was introduced by IANA on 29 March 1992. The domain extension is operated by SK-NIC with headquarters in Bratislava.

Indirect predecessor of the domain extension was .cs, the domain extension of the former Czechoslovakia. Even before Slovakia was officially founded on 1 January 1993. Slovakia's direct neighbours include Austria, Hungary as well as the Czech Republic, Poland and the Ukraine. Slovakia is therefore very important as a landlocked country.

For whom?

In the past, a website with the domain extension .sk could only be applied for by companies or private individuals with a branch office or residence in Slovakia. Proof of this will be strictly checked by the registry.

With the accession of Slovakia to the EU, a residence or company headquarters within the EU or EFTA is sufficient for an application for a website with the domain ending .sk. Therefore, this domain extension can also be used by companies or private persons who want to advertise the beauty of the country for the purpose of tourism, culinary variety or great travel reports. Slovakia is a very popular destination especially for nature lovers. If you would like to share your experiences in Slovakia - including the culinary experiences, of which there are plenty in Slovak cuisine - with others, you can also do so very well via a website with the domain extension .sk. Slovakia belongs to the Balkan countries, where there is a lot to discover for the culture fan, whereby here a lot of authenticity prevails.

Companies appreciate the country domain

And companies in Slovakia also appreciate the .sk domain extension. This makes it possible for companies to show what the much underestimated country in the Balkans can do. Slovakia's economic strengths lie above all in its long industrial tradition. The country has experienced very high economic growth in recent years compared to other European countries. One of the country's weaknesses is the poorly developed infrastructure, especially in the east of the country.
