korea-dpr.com edit

www.korea-dpr.com is actually owned by a private Spanish citizen, and is the Korean Friendship Association's main website. It is not an official DPRK website, though it is officially recognized by that country's government, and the KFA holds a lot of weight in the DPRK as far as visiting delegations and such go. --99.250.177.248 (talk) 00:42, 8 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I thought this would be interesting to add to the article. Can anyone take a look at it?

North Korea doesn't have just 28 websites, but there are just 28 .kp websites. I have added the information to the article, with sources. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 16:53, 21 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

A new website Publications of the DPRK (http://www.korean-books.com.kp) has recently opened, according to Naenara, which is also a North Korean website of .kp domain.

So can anyone just get a .kp domain? edit

or is there some kinda wall you have to pass to get to it? WebWyyzrd (talk) 05:57, 5 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

No, you have to be a government entity or business operating in the dprk to get a .kp domain. Even if you could, why would you want to? Matthew Tyler-Harrington (aka mth8412) (talk) 01:50, 4 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
