Need to register and host a Danish website - Cheapest solutions

icebergx

Hi all,

I'm looking to setup a Danish website so need to register and host it. I'm having trouble finding Domain name registrars who cover Danish (.dk) websites.
Can anyone recommend a good, cheap and reliable service provider/s that would allow me to do this as easily as possible?Approximately how much should these services cost?
Also, would the number of visitors to the site affect how much I have to pay? i.e.. if it becomes a high traffic webpage (maybe a few thousand visitors per day) would I have to pay more?

Thanks

After you have procurred the domain name of your choice, any respectable registration company should allow you to host the site wherever you like.

Hosting is normally charged according to bandwidth, rather than number of visitors.

How much should getting a domain name cost? I checked out one website that wanted €59 per year... That seems a little excessive, as I always thought domains could be picked up quite cheaply (maybe around £10 per year) but maybe .dk domains cost more?

Prices do depend on the type of domain being registered - you can get .co.uk domains for around a tenner for two years, but others are more expensive.

It does appear however that the site you went to is rather on the high side - I found this registrar http://www.nominate.com/domainnames/dk.shtml that does them for €17 per year. I am not recommending them as I have never used them, they just happened to come up in the search results that Wywth gave.

That page also gives some important information on the registration of .dk domains, in particular the activation of the domain and approval of name servers.

Why not check another then? :huh:

e.g. the second one on this list is $15 (about £10) for registration and $22.80 for the annual renewal therafter.

Hosting can be linked to the domain from anywhere.

Hosting costs from £free. A professional service can be had for less than £25 per year.

You need to be careful with this - the Danish appear to charge €500 for approving nameservers and you can bet that the cheap hosts won't be on their approved list.

Hmm - looks like some dubious restriction on free trade.

There is a list of hosting companies active in Denmark here: http://www.webhosting.info/webhosts/tophosts/Country/DK?pi=1&ob=RANK&oo=ASC

There is a search for approved nameservers here: https://www.dk-hostmaster.dk/english/technical-administration/dns-server-contacts/approved-name-servers/

I have sites registered through FreeVirtualServers (c. £15pa) and their nameservers are not approved. (ns2.freevirtualservers.com)

But I also have sites registered at 000WebHost (c. £0 pa) and their nameservers are approved. (ns02.000webhost.com)
