What is the consequence of deactivating (blocking) a domain name

Back to all questions and answers

An order to "block" a specific .dk domain name is implemented by Punktum dk by deactivating the domain name and thus deactivating the "directory function". As a result, immediate access to a website is cut off.

However, the illegal content is still on the Internet and can be accessed via the IP address.

While the domain name can no longer point internet users to a website, including subpages, all services under the domain name are closed, including e-mail services. Blocking a domain name can therefore also have unintended or disproportionate consequences for the registrant's otherwise legal activities.

The registrant can register a new domain name and have it pointed to

the website with the illegal content.
