Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest domain in Pakistan?
For international domains, .com is the most practical and costs approximately PKR 2,700–3,300 per year depending on the registrar. For Pakistani domains, .com.pk is the most affordable at approximately PKR 4,448 per 2-year period through PKNIC. Very cheap first-year offers on extensions like .xyz or .online from international registrars often hide much higher renewal prices.
Can I use a .com.pk domain for my Pakistani business?
Yes — .com.pk is the most widely used domain extension for Pakistani businesses. It signals local presence and trust to Pakistani visitors, is affordable through PKNIC, and is recognised by major search engines. For international audiences you may also want a .com version.
Is .pk domain available for international buyers?
PKNIC requires a valid Pakistani postal address and phone number for .pk and .com.pk registrations. International buyers without a Pakistani contact cannot register .pk domains directly. If you need a Pakistani-associated domain as a foreigner, you would need a local partner or address.
How often do I need to renew a .pk domain?
.pk and .com.pk domains are registered for 2-year periods and must be renewed every 2 years through PKNIC or an authorised reseller. The renewal price is the same as the registration price (PKR 4,448 for .com.pk, PKR 8,896 for .pk).
