You can find information about the registrant by looking up the domain name in the public WHOIS database on Punktum dk's website. Enter the domain name in "search .dk domain name" on the front page of the website.

You can request the information that is not publicly available by contacting Punktum dk via the support form, or via Punktum dk's website, use the category "More information ”, then “Disclosure of information” and “Information to authorities”. We will then look at your request,

If you are experiencing issues with your e-mail address or website, it may be due to one of the following reasons. 

Missing payment with Punktum dk

If we have not received payment for the renewal of your .dk domain name, the domain will be suspended by us. If your domain name is suspended and you have an email or a website that includes the domain, it will no longer work. 
You can restore your domain name by logging into our online self-service portal. You can follow our instructions by clicking here. 

Missing validation 

At Punktum dk, as the registrant, you are required to complete an ID verification when you activate your domain.  
We do this to ensure accurate information and secure your right to use the domain. 

If the ID verification is not completed within the given deadline, the domain will be suspended and deleted 30 days thereafter. 
The domain will be automatically restored/activated once you log in to the self-service portal. 

Setup with your DNS provider 

When you hold the right to use a domain name, you are a customer at Punktum dk. You also have a registration with your provider, who handles your hosting (setting up e-mail or website). 
It is therefore necessary that your setup with the provider is correctly configured. They may have deactivated the domain due to a lack of maintenance, such as payment and updating contact information. It is therefore important to maintain both agreements. If the problem is with the provider, you need to contact your provider to have the domain restored. 

The Internet works in an interaction between several technical intermediaries, each of which provides a unique service that enables the Internet user to view a website.

In connection with illegal content on the web, the primary players are:

  • The person who posted the content
  • The web hosting company
  • The Internet service provider (the ISP, often a telecommunications company)
  • The domain hosting company / The name server responsible
  • Domain administrator (Punktum dk)

An order for the seizure of a .dk domain name is implemented by handing the domain name over to the Danish police.

When a domain name is seized, the Danish police can decide which website the domain name must point to or refrain from pointing to a website. At the same time as the registrant can no longer use the domain name to point the internet user to a website, the registrant also loses access to all services under the domain name, including e-mail services. Confiscation of a domain name can therefore also have unintended or disproportionate consequences for the registrant's otherwise legal activities.

The illegal content is still on the Internet and can be accessed directly via the IP address.

The registrant can register a new domain name and have it pointed to the website with the illegal content.

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.

When a domain name is seized, the right to use the domain name is transferred to the Danish police. The police become the registrant of the domain name with all associated rights and obligations, including payment to Punktum dk, as long as the domain name is seized.

The former registrant cannot use the domain name and the police decide which website the domain name should point to or refrain from letting it point to a website. The former registrant may also not use other services associated with the domain name, including email addresses.

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

You must investigate to whom the warrant should be directed.

The general principle of proportionality means that the least intrusive effective means must be used. A seizure order must therefore be directed against the infringer or technical intermediaries, e.g. the web hosting company or the name server responsible. Only if this is impossible, hopeless, or insufficient, the ruling can be directed against Punktum dk.

The Danish Supreme Court ruled on 23 March 2021 that blocking access to illegal content on a website must be directed against the infringer or other technical intermediaries, e.g. the web hosting company, before an injunction can be directed against Punktum dk. The order can be found here (Danish only).

This is because a deactivation of a domain name is not only important for the website, but also for other services associated with the domain name, e.g. e-mail service, which will no longer be able to be used.

A seizure order should only be directed against Punktum dk when it is difficult to act against the registrant, the web hosting company, or the name server responsible, where they are located outside of Denmark, and it is deemed proportionate to remove both access to the website and the e-mail service.

You should inform Punktum dk before the court hearing. This gives Punktum dk the opportunity to appear at the court hearing or submit a declaration of waiver that they do not wish to appear at the court hearing.

Punktum dk can also provide guidance on what information must appear in the warrant in order for a seizure to be effectuated.

In order for Punktum dk to implement a seizure of the domain name, it is necessary that the order also contains the following information:

  • A correct indication of the domain name to be seized,
  • A correct indication of the registrant's name and address,
  • Information that the seizure is taking place at Punktum dk A/S, which is not a suspect in the case and
  • Indication of what Punktum dk must do, i.e. how the seizure of the domain name must take place. For example, "[xxxx.dk] must be seized if the domain name is transferred to [the police unit] as a new registrant of Punktum dk A/S, who is not a suspect".

How can we help you?

Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing fake emails regarding suspension of .dk domain names. We are working to prevent this.

Punktum dk's websites have been cloned, making it seem like you are at the correct place. If you receive a fake email, do not make any payments through the payment link!

How can I tell if it's a fake email?

Always check the sender’s email address. We never send mail from admin@dk-hostmaster.dk

Emails from us will always come from “noreply@punktum.dk” — BUT scammers can send phishing emails that appear to come from Punktum dk. Sometimes they use email addresses or domain names that look similar to ours. Other times, the sender may be manipulated so that the email appears to come from an address ending in @punktum.dk.

Therefore, it is not always enough to look only at the sender address, even if it ends in @punktum.dk.

If you are unsure whether an email is from us, we recommend that you do not click any links in the email. This applies especially to emails about suspension, invoicing, payment, notices, or similar matters. Instead, go directly to https://selvbetjening.punktum.dk/ yourself and check the status of your .dk domain names. This will give you a secure overview of whether there is anything you need to do.

We also send questionnaires from the address @relationmonitor.com

Some of the fake emails use these endings:

@punktum.in
@paysafe.dk
@amian-louis.atlassian.net
@summersetdestinations.com
@uni-erfurt.de
@punktum.com
@ventevo.pk
@uni-erfurt.de
@pouriaahmadi.com

Have you received an email about suspension or payment?

We are also sending out legitimate emails regarding suspension. Therefore, we recommend that you log in to our self-service portal and check whether your .dk domain name has been suspended.

If your domain name is not working, it has likely been suspended. Read more here about what you can do to restore it.

 

If you are experiencing issues with your e-mail address or website, it may be due to one of the following reasons. 

Missing payment with Punktum dk

If we have not received payment for the renewal of your .dk domain name, the domain will be suspended by us. If your domain name is suspended and you have an email or a website that includes the domain, it will no longer work. 
You can restore your domain name by logging into our online self-service portal. You can follow our instructions by clicking here. 

Missing validation 

At Punktum dk, as the registrant, you are required to complete an ID verification when you activate your domain.  
We do this to ensure accurate information and secure your right to use the domain. 

If the ID verification is not completed within the given deadline, the domain will be suspended and deleted 30 days thereafter. 
The domain will be automatically restored/activated once you log in to the self-service portal. 

Setup with your DNS provider 

When you hold the right to use a domain name, you are a customer at Punktum dk. You also have a registration with your provider, who handles your hosting (setting up e-mail or website).

If the problem is with the provider, you need to contact your provider to have the domain restored. 

If your website or e-mail address is not working, it may be because we have suspended your domain name. The most common reason for doing this is that we have not received payment for the domain name.

You can easily get your website or e-mail address up and working again by restoring the domain name through your login to our online self-service portal.

When you are logged in, you can either go to "Payment and invoices" and pay the invoice under "Open invoices" or you can go to "Domain name" and choose "Restore domain name" on the select button next to your domain.

The restoration fee is DKK 125 per domain name.

If a domain name is not restored within 30 days of the date of suspension, we delete the domain name.

You must transfer the domain name if you want to give it to another person.

Please note, that you cannot transfer the domain if there is an unpaid invoice on the domain name. Please pay the invoice and then you can transfer the domain name.

When you have transferred the domain name you no longer have the right to use it.

Step 1

Choose "Transfer to new registrant" in the drop-down menu in the "Manage" column.
PLEASE NOTE! If you wish to transfer more than one domain name, you can find it under "Manage multiple domain names" at the bottom of the screen.

Step 2

Enter the e-mail address of the new registrant who is to have the domain and press CONTINUE.

Please be aware that, if transferring to a company, the email address provided will be published in the publicly accessible WHOIS database.

Therefore, the email address must not contain any personal information such as names or initials.

If your email address contains personal data, it must be changed via Punktum dk’s self-service portal or at your registrar.

Step 3

Make sure you entered the correct information and press CONFIRM.

The new registrant of the domain names will receive a request by e-mail to accept the transfer. The transfer will not be carried out until the new registrant has accepted.

PLEASE NOTE! If you are only proxy of the domain name the current registrant must confirm the transfer of the domain name before it can be carried out. The current registrant will receive a request by email. Once the current registrant has confirmed that the transfer may be carried out the future registrant will receive an email with a request to accept the transfer. When the future registrant has accepted the transfer it will be carried out.
