.sk domain name

A .sk domain name is the Slovak country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) extension of Slovakia. It's one among many other ccTLDs like fr for France or de for Germany etc.

WHO can use a .sk domain name?

Any individual or organization can apply to use a .sk domain. Organizations registered in Slovakia are allowed priority registration over others, but this is not required to register the .SK domain extension.

The registry that controls the registration of Slovakia's ccTLDs is "Slovenská informačná služba" or Slovak Information Service in English. This organization also has control over who gets to register a .sk domain name.

Tips to choose ideal .sk Domain Name:

When choosing the perfect .sk web address for your business, you should consider that most Slovak companies use an English version of their website and therefore prefer using corresponding domains in other languages than Czech or Slovak.

It is also important to note that almost all Slovak websites use a .sk domain name and that there are only very few exceptions.

The best idea would be to take the .sk version of your business' international English website address, such as ´mycompanyname.com`.
