(CNN) -- If you're among the companies vying for one of the nearly 2,000 new
generic top-level domains, or gTLDs, you've got big pockets. The application
alone costs about $185,000.

But if you're just an average Joe building your own website or blog, there
are much cheaper options out there. One of the most popular is .tk. It's a
country code top-level domain, similar to .ca for Canada or .fr for France.
But .tk stands for a country you've probably never heard of. It's called
Tokelau.
