- Domain family
- Generic top-level domain
- Registry operator
- Nova Registry Ltd.

How .link fits into the domain system
IANA’s .link registry record dates from January 2014. It identifies Nova Registry Ltd. as the registry operator. A generic ending using the word link. This is the registry-record date, rather than a claimed public launch date.

Questions about .link domains
Does .link include a link-shortening service?
No. Such software is separate from registration.
Can it point to an existing page?
Yes. Use an appropriate website or redirect setup.
Does it guarantee a safe destination?
No. The operator is responsible for the content and destinations it presents.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
