.net.pk Domain

Register your domain name in the .net.pk extension for PKR 4,149 / 2 years. A natural fit for network and internet service providers.

About .net.pk

A second-level .pk extension built around the word 'network' — a natural fit for ISPs, telecoms and infrastructure businesses.

If you run a communications network, an internet service, or any business built around connectivity, a .net.pk address signals that focus to Pakistani visitors more clearly than a generic .com.pk would.

It is not restricted to network operators in practice — any business or individual can register it — but it reads best for technology, hosting, telecom and networking brands.

Like every second-level .pk name, .net.pk registers for a minimum of 2 years, up to 10 years, and is renewed in the same increments. If a name lapses, PKNIC allows a redemption window from the 7th to the 20th day after expiry to renew it before it is released.

The "net" in .net.pk comes from network — it suits ISPs, telecom resellers, communications companies and network-focused blogs that want a domestic identity. It carries the same 2-year minimum term as every other .pk extension and is not available in less than 2-year increments.

Naming a tech or connectivity brand, and .net.pk vs the alternatives

.net.pk carries a specific, technical connotation that generic extensions don't, which is why it's worth considering even beyond formal ISPs.

Against .com.pk: .com.pk is the general-purpose choice for any business, but it doesn't say anything specific about what the business does. .net.pk immediately reads as networking, hosting, telecom or infrastructure — useful if your brand name alone doesn't make that clear, such as a VPS reseller, a WISP, a data-centre operator or a managed-services provider.

Against plain .pk: as with the other second-level extensions, .net.pk is newer and less crowded than plain .pk, so short technical names — often taken already on .pk — have a better chance of being available here.

Against international .net: the global .net space is old and heavily used for generic tech projects worldwide, so it's rarely available for a short brand name. .net.pk keeps the same "net" association while giving a Pakistani ISP, telecom reseller or infrastructure business a realistic shot at an exact match.

For naming, technical or connectivity-related words work naturally here — "net", "link", "connect", "fiber", "wave", "signal" — combined with your brand or coverage area, for example fastlink.net.pk or citywave.net.pk. Because .net.pk already implies a technical purpose, you don't need to spell out "internet" or "network" in full within the name itself.

Keep hyphens and numbers to a minimum, since customers calling a support line or reading a signal-strength sticker on installed equipment need to type the address correctly on the first try. A clean, one- or two-word name also holds up better on invoices, service agreements and router configuration pages than a longer, hyphenated one.

Bundle your domain with hosting

Networking and hosting brands often need more than shared hosting — a VPS or dedicated server gives full control for running your own services, panels or client portals under your .net.pk name.

Transferring a .net.pk domain to us

PKNIC is the sole registrar and sponsor for every .net.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 .net.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.

Frequently asked questions

Who can register .net.pk?

Anyone — it is commonly chosen by network, telecom and internet service businesses, but is not restricted to them.

How long is the minimum term?

.net.pk is registered for 2 years at a time, up to 10 years, and renewed in the same increments.

Can I change the name later?

No. A registered name cannot be changed or refunded, so check the spelling first.

Can I transfer this domain to another registrar?

Yes, with a PKNIC authorisation letter on your letterhead — we can supply the template.

Do I need to be a licensed ISP to register .net.pk?

No — it's open to any business or individual, though it's most commonly chosen by ISPs, telecom resellers, hosting providers and other connectivity-focused brands.

Is .net.pk a good fit for a general business instead of .com.pk?

Only if your business is genuinely networking or technology related — for a general storefront or service business, .com.pk or .biz.pk usually reads more naturally to customers.
