About .fam.pk
A second-level .pk extension whose name blends 'family' (or 'famous') with Pakistan's national suffix.
It works well for a personal or family website, a family business, or any individual site that wants an easy-to-remember, distinctly Pakistani name rather than the more commercial .com.pk or .biz.pk.
Because it is a less-requested second-level name, it is often easier to secure short or exact-match names in .fam.pk.
Registration and renewal follow the standard PKNIC rules for second-level .pk names: minimum 2 years, maximum 10, per term.
The name plays on "family"/"famous" — it's commonly chosen by individuals for personal, family or hobby sites, as well as small blogs and forums, rather than being tied to a specific commercial category.
Who can register .fam.pk?
- Open to individuals and families as well as small/family-run businesses
- No restriction to any single purpose — personal, blog or informational sites are all accepted
- Available to Pakistani CNIC holders and, via us, to overseas applicants
- Not available for illegal or objectionable content
- Popular with individuals for personal, family or hobby websites rather than commercial use
Naming ideas for a family or personal site, and .fam.pk vs the alternatives
A personal or family website doesn't need a commercial-sounding address, and .fam.pk is built specifically for that lighter, more personal register.
Against .com.pk and .biz.pk: those two read as commercial by default, which can feel like an odd fit for a family blog, a wedding website, a photo album, or a personal portfolio that isn't selling anything. .fam.pk avoids that mismatch, and its name — a play on "family" and "famous" — signals a personal rather than business site the moment someone sees the address.
Against plain .pk: because .fam.pk is a newer, lighter-traffic extension, short and exact-match names (a surname, a nickname, a family group name) are far more often still available than they would be on the more crowded plain .pk namespace.
For naming ideas, try your family surname on its own or paired with "family" (for example khanfamily.fam.pk), a blended name for a joint family site, a couple's combined names for a wedding page, or simply your own name for a personal portfolio, resume site or blog. Because there's no commercial expectation attached to .fam.pk, playful or affectionate names — a household nickname, a pet's name, a hobby — read naturally here in a way they might not on a business-branded extension.
Keep the spelling simple enough that a relative can type it correctly from memory — this matters more for a family site than a business one, since you're usually sharing the address by word of mouth rather than through advertising. Two years is the minimum term for .fam.pk like every second-level .pk name, but a longer initial term means one less thing to remember to renew.
Bundle your domain with hosting
A family or personal site is usually simple: a few pages, photos, and maybe a blog. Shared or WordPress hosting covers that comfortably, and gives every family member a personal email address on the same domain.

Domain facts & transfer documentation
Transferring a .fam.pk domain to us
PKNIC is the sole registrar and sponsor for every .fam.pk name, so a transfer between service providers needs a signed authorisation letter on your current registrant's letterhead (with company stamp/seal) plus a copy of the CEO's CNIC, naming the domain and the receiving PKNIC ID. Download the template below and send it back to us to start a transfer into our account.
Owner mismatch correction
If the registrant name on file doesn't match your company letterhead or official seal, PKNIC requires a notarised affidavit (on stamp paper worth PKR 100, attested by an oath commissioner) giving your CNIC number, company name, an explanation of the mismatch, the domain name, and the receiving PKNIC account ID.
Individual owner transfer
An individual registrant moving a .fam.pk domain between providers can instead submit a notarised affidavit (stamp paper worth PKR 100, oath-commissioner attested) stating their full name, the domain name, CNIC number, residential address, and the receiving PKNIC account ID.
