How to Register and Manage a .PK Domain
A practical guide to choosing a .pk extension, understanding registration terms, configuring DNS, renewing, and transferring domain management.
Search domain availabilityRegistration period
PKNIC states that domain fees are charged for a two-year period and may be paid up to ten years. ZTHosting's current checkout price remains authoritative for orders placed through ZTHosting.
Documents and eligibility
General extensions do not all share the same documentation rules. Moderated extensions such as .edu.pk and .gov.pk require supporting authorization and identity documents. Confirm the current PKNIC rule for the exact extension before ordering.
DNS, renewal, and transfer
After registration, point the domain through nameservers or DNS records. Keep registrant details current and renew before expiry. A registrar/account transfer changes domain management; it does not automatically migrate the website or email.
