PKNIC (registry)
.pk registrar in Pakistan, read from its own storefront on 2026-09-29
Not on PKNIC's list
Can a member of the public buy a .pk here?
Its own page offers .pk through a English storefront, but on 2026-09-29 it printed no .pk price with its VAT treatment that this site could read, so it is listed on the Pakistan page as read and not ranked.
Why it is not ranked
The registry prints Rs. 2100 per year (charged two years at a time) but states no sales tax treatment on the page read.
Namespaces on its own page
.pk.com.pk.net.pk.org.pk.edu.pk.web.pk.fam.pk
What its page printed
"For domain registrants based in Pakistan, a domain fee of Rs. 2100 per year will be charged. For domain registrant or their registrar located outside Pakistan, a fee of $15.99 per domain per year is charged. The fee is charged on a biennial basis (two-year period)." No tax wording.
Read from https://pknic.net.pk/pricing.html on 2026-09-29. A storefront read establishes the language, the currency and the figure the page printed that day. It does not establish support quality, uptime or what a renewal will cost next year.
Why it is on the Pakistan page
The registry itself: PKNIC sells .pk directly on this page, outside its list of registrars.
How the Pakistan storefronts were read
Ten storefronts were opened: the registry's price page and nine resellers from PKNIC's partner list, chosen by partner tier and market presence, plus Hostinger Pakistan. PKNIC prints Rs. 2100 per year and Domain Host Rs.2500 for two years, neither with tax wording; WebSouls and ServerSea print no .pk price. creativeON (404), HOST n DOMAIN (405), WinsHosting and Nayatel (502), Helix (tunnel failure) and Cybernet (timeout) could not be read, and GoDaddy's Pakistan site returned 403. No Pakistani storefront could be ranked. The 18% is the federal sales tax rate; services are taxed by the provinces at their own rates. On 2026-10-14 the remaining 13 registrars on PKNIC's list that publish a website were opened, so every registrar on the list with a published website has now been tried: 9 were read, 4 could not be, and 0 more print a comparable .pk price.
