.PK Domain Registration in Pakistan

Register a .pk or .com.pk domain with Alif Host for PKR 5,000 for 2 years (regular price PKR 6,000). Two years is the minimum registration term set by PKNIC, the national registry for .pk domains, so every .pk registration is billed for two years at once. You can check .pk domain availability below, pay in Pakistani Rupees with JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast or bank transfer, and manage DNS and nameservers from your Alif Host client area.

What Is the .PK Domain Price in Pakistan?

All open .pk extensions cost the same at Alif Host. The price covers the full two-year PKNIC term, so there is no separate yearly fee in between. For comparison, a .com domain is PKR 3,000 per year on our domain registration page.

Prices in Pakistani Rupees. .edu.pk and .gov.pk are restricted extensions and need eligibility documents before PKNIC approves them.

What Is PKNIC? Rules to Know Before You Register a .PK Domain

PKNIC (Pakistan Network Information Center) is the official registry that manages every domain ending in .pk, including .com.pk, .net.pk, .org.pk and .edu.pk. Domain buyers in Pakistan usually register through an accredited registrar instead of dealing with PKNIC directly. Alif Host submits your registration to PKNIC, collects payment in PKR and keeps your DNS settings in one place. These are the PKNIC rules that affect buyers most:

Two-year minimum term

.pk, .com.pk, .net.pk and .org.pk domains are registered and renewed in two-year terms. One-year .pk registrations are not offered.

Open vs restricted extensions

.com.pk is open to anyone. .edu.pk needs proof of a recognised institution, such as an HEC recognition letter or education board affiliation, and .gov.pk is only for government bodies.

Works with any hosting

A .pk domain can point to Alif Host or any other server. You change nameservers or DNS records from the client area; see our .pk DNS guide.

.PK vs .COM.PK vs .COM: Which Should You Choose?

Choose a Pakistani extension when most of your customers are in Pakistan. A country domain tells visitors, and Google, that you serve the local market. Choose .com when you sell abroad as well, or when the .pk name you want is taken. Many businesses register both and point one to the other so nobody else can use their name.

Renew before your .pk domain expires

If a .pk domain expires, your website and email stop working, and after the registry deadline someone else can register the name. Watch for the renewal invoice and reminder emails, and keep your contact email up to date in the client area. If it has already lapsed, follow our guide on recovering an expired domain in Pakistan.

Questions & Answers

.PK Domain Registration FAQs

Prices, PKNIC rules, eligibility and payment for Pakistani domains.

PKNIC is the official registry that runs every domain ending in .pk, such as .pk, .com.pk, .net.pk, .org.pk and .edu.pk. You do not need to deal with PKNIC yourself. When you register a .pk domain with Alif Host, we submit it to PKNIC for you, you pay in PKR, and you manage DNS and renewals from your Alif Host client area.
At Alif Host a .pk, .com.pk, .net.pk or .org.pk domain costs PKR 5,000 for two years. Two years is the minimum term PKNIC allows, so the full two-year term is paid at registration and at each renewal. Prices are in Pakistani Rupees with no foreign exchange fees.
No. PKNIC, the registry for all .pk domains, only accepts registrations and renewals in two-year terms. Any .pk price you see quoted per year is the two-year price divided by two.
Type the full name, such as yourbrand.com.pk or yourbrand.pk, into the domain checker on this page. It tells you whether the name is free to register and lets you add it to your order straight away.
.pk, .com.pk, .net.pk and .org.pk are open to anyone. .edu.pk is reserved for recognised educational institutions and needs documents such as an HEC recognition letter or education board affiliation. .gov.pk is only for government bodies.
You can pay in PKR with JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast instant transfer or a Pakistani bank transfer. Debit and credit cards are also accepted, but an international card is not required.
Alif Host sends your order to PKNIC as soon as payment is confirmed. The domain starts resolving once PKNIC publishes its next zone update and DNS spreads, usually within a few hours and at most about 48 hours.
No. .pk and .com.pk domains are open to individuals and businesses without a CNIC or company registration. Only restricted extensions such as .edu.pk and .gov.pk need documents.
Yes. A .pk transfer goes through PKNIC's agent change process. Open a ticket or start the transfer from your client area and the team will guide you through it.
Choose .pk or .com.pk if most of your customers are in Pakistan, because a country domain signals a local business. Choose .com if you also sell abroad. Many businesses register both and redirect one to the other to protect their brand name.
