Registering a .PK domain — Pakistan's official country-code domain — takes just a few minutes with Visioning Cloud. This guide walks you through the entire process from search to activation.
Step 1: Search for Your Domain
Head to our domain search page or go directly to the .PK domain page if you already know you want a .pk extension.
Type your desired name into the search box. If you're on the general domain search page, select .pk from the extension dropdown or click the .pk pill shortcut. On the dedicated .pk page, the extension is already fixed for you.
Step 2: Choose Your Sub-Extension (Optional)
Beyond the standard .pk, Pakistan offers several sub-extensions depending on your entity type — .com.pk, .net.pk, .org.pk, and .edu.pk among them. If you're unsure which fits your business, see our guide on Understanding .PK Sub-Extensions before proceeding. Note that .edu.pk and .gov.pk have eligibility requirements — check Requirements for Registering .edu.pk and .gov.pk Domains first if you're considering those.
Step 3: Complete Checkout
Clicking "Register" takes you to our secure checkout, where availability is verified in real time before payment. You'll see the registration price, and you can select the registration period (1 year is standard, though we support renewals of it are also possible after registration).
Step 4: Wait for PKNIC Processing
Unlike .com or .net, which activate almost instantly, .pk registrations are processed through PKNIC (Pakistan Network Information Centre) and typically take 12–24 hours to go live. If your registration is taking noticeably longer than that, see our article on Troubleshooting Delayed .PK Registrations.
Step 5: Set Up DNS
Once your domain is active, you'll want to point it to your hosting. If you're hosting with Visioning Cloud, this is handled automatically. If you're pointing to external hosting, see How to Set Up DNS Records for Your .PK Domain or Point Your .PK Domain to External Hosting.
