About .PK Domain Names

You can register the following domain extensions under the .pk ccTLD:
.com.pk – General Business, or Individual
.pk – Same as .com.pk but without .com
.net.pk – Network or IT Related Business
.org.pk – Non-profit Organizations

PK domain names are managed and maintained by the PKNIC (Pakistan Network Information Center), the organization responsible for administering the .pk ccTLD. PKNIC was established in 1992 by the Pakistan government, headquartered in Lahore.
.pk vs. .com – Benefits of Having .pk Domain Over a .com
Country code top-level domains (ccTLDs), such as .pk domains for Pakistan, are domain names that are specific to a country and tend to be more desirable, e.g., following are a few reasons why you should choose a .pk domain over other generic top-level domains (such as .com, .net, etc.):
- Local relevance: .pk domains can help establish a local online presence and make your website more relevant to country-specific users. For example, a website with a “.fr” ccTLD (France) is likely to be more relevant to users in France than a website with a “.com” gTLD.
- SEO Benefits: Search engines often give preference to websites with local TLDs, so a PK domain can help increase your visibility to users in your target market, resulting in your website’s ranking improvements for search results in Pakistan
- Credibility: .pk can add credibility to your website and give the impression that the website is more established and trustworthy e.g. a PK domain can help establish your website as a legitimate presence in Pakistan and give users confidence in your business or organization.
- Greater Control over your Online Identity: A PK domain gives you control over your web address and helps prevent others from using your brand name in a domain without your permission. This can help protect your online reputation and to avoid user confusion or misunderstandings.
- More Chance of Domain Availability:
Since it is tough to get a good domain name .com etc. A .pk domain can make it easier for you to get the domain of your choice.
However, it is worth noting that a .pk domain on its own is sometimes better than gTLDs, and the domain choice will depend on your specific needs and goals. e.g., .pk domains are often used along with generic top-level domains (gTLDs) such as “.com” and “.net.” For example, a Pakistani business might register a gTLD such as “example.com” as well as example.pk. This allows the business to reach a wider audience, provide users with multiple ways to access its website, and have branding control.
