.PK Domain Price in Pakistan (2026)
By Muhammad Ashir Rana, Founder, XHOST · Updated
A .pk domain costs Rs 2,100 per year at the registry (PKNIC) for Pakistan-based registrants since 1 August 2026, billed in two-year periods. What you pay a reseller is that fee plus their margin and service. Here is how .pk pricing works and how to avoid overpaying at renewal.
Who sets the price of a .pk domain?
PKNIC, based in Lahore, runs the .pk registry. It sets the wholesale fee every registrant pays. You can register directly with PKNIC or through a reseller (a hosting company such as XHOST). Resellers pay PKNIC's fee and add their own price for the service: account handling, DNS, renewals reminders and support.
PKNIC fees in 2026
| Registrant | Fee per year | Billing |
|---|---|---|
| Based in Pakistan (from 1 Aug 2026) | Rs 2,100 | Every 2 years (Rs 4,200), up to 10 years ahead |
| Based in Pakistan (before Aug 2026) | Rs 1,800 | — |
| Based outside Pakistan | US$15.99 | Every 2 years |
What resellers charge
Retail prices vary widely. For example, HosterPK listed .pk and .com.pk at Rs 3,899 per year in its October 2025 price update (before PKNIC's August 2026 increase). Across about 29 registrars tracked internationally in 2026, first-year .pk prices ranged from about US$16 to well over US$100, averaging around US$71. Always compare the renewal price and the two-year total, since .pk is billed two years at a time.

.pk domains can only be bought in 2-year multiples because PKNIC bills biennially. Pay with JazzCash, Easypaisa, card or bank transfer. Check a name
Which .pk extension should you pick?
- .com.pk — the classic choice for Pakistani businesses.
- .pk — shorter and newer; good for brands.
- .org.pk / .net.pk — non-profits and network or tech businesses.
- .edu.pk / .gov.pk — restricted to education and government.
- .web.pk / .fam.pk — personal and family sites.
How to avoid overpaying
- Ask for the renewal price in writing before you register.
- Budget for the 2-year minimum; paying 4–10 years upfront protects you from future fee rises.
- Keep the registrant email current — PKNIC sends renewal and transfer notices there.
- Turn on renewal reminders. A lapsed .pk can be lost or cost more to restore.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a .pk domain cost in 2026?
PKNIC, the .pk registry, charges Pakistan-based registrants Rs 2,100 per domain per year from 1 August 2026 (it was Rs 1,800). Registrars and resellers add their own margin, so retail prices are higher than the registry fee.
Why is .pk billed for two years?
PKNIC charges its fee biennially, so the minimum term is 2 years. At the 2026 registry rate that is at least Rs 4,200 before any reseller margin.
What do international registrants pay for .pk?
Registrants (or their registrar) based outside Pakistan pay PKNIC US$15.99 per domain per year, which is why foreign registrars usually charge much more for .pk.
How much does XHOST charge for a .pk domain?
Rs 6,000 for a 2-year term (Rs 3,000 per year) for .pk or .com.pk, with 4- and 6-year terms available. Payment in PKR by JazzCash, Easypaisa, card or bank transfer.
Is .pk cheaper than .com?
At the registry level, usually not by much, and .pk is billed two years at a time. Compare the two-year total and the renewal price, not just the first-year headline.
