IELTS on computer is not an online test from home. It is a fully valid IELTS test taken in the test centre surrounding and accepted by all IELTS test receivers. 
All IELTS tests include the individual speaking test face-to-face with an examiner. You do not speak to a computer. 

For immigration to Denmark: "B1 test" = IELTS test with a result level of B1 
If you need proof of a "B1" level only for immigration to Denmark, then take the IELTS General Training test. An IELTS score of roughly 4-5.5 translates to the B1 level required. This level will be  printed on your test report. The Danish authorities do recognise the IELTS test. Do not choose Life Skills B1, you can not use it or immigration to Denmark.

UKVI-IELTS ("SELT" test) or UKVI Life Skills:        
This may be relevant only

IELTS Special Consideration policy: Occasionally there may be instances where you are unable to attend your test or are disadvantaged on the test day owing to illness, injury, or another exceptional event outside your control. Information about applying for Special Consideration can be found here. All such requests must be made in writing no later than 2 calendar days after the test date supported by evidence. 

When to register

You can register close to the test date as long as places are available, but the test is in high demand in certain months close to important deadlines, so then there may be less choice or dates may fill up. Note that there are fewer tests held in/around July and December. Results are ready in 1-2 calendar days.

We recommend to book in good time before your deadline as your IELTS test results can be made available to institutions up to 2 years after the test date.
