How to read a domain price list correctly
A domain price list usually shows more than one number for each extension, and it is worth understanding each before you order. The registration price is what you pay to create the name for the first term. The renewal price is what you pay each time the term ends and you want to keep the name. A transfer price, where shown, is what it costs to move an existing name to us.
The length of the term matters as much as the price. International names such as .com are normally priced for one year, while .pk names are registered through PKNIC for two years at a time. A .pk price that looks higher than a .com price may actually work out cheaper per year once you divide it by the term.
Some extensions are offered at a low first-term price to attract new registrations, and then renew at the registry's normal rate. That is not a hidden charge, but it does mean the first invoice is not a guide to every invoice after it. Always look at the renewal figure when you are choosing between endings for a long-term brand.
Our tables are synced automatically from the billing system, so what you see here is what appears on your invoice at the time of ordering. If an ending you need is missing, or a figure looks unusual, contact our sales team and we will check the current rate with the relevant registry for you.
Why renewal prices matter more than the first invoice
A domain is not a one-off purchase. As long as you want your website and email to keep working, the name must be renewed at the end of every term, often for many years. Over the life of a business, the renewals add up to far more than the original registration, so they deserve the most attention when you compare options.
Renewal prices are set mainly by the registry that runs each extension, and registries review their charges from time to time. When a registry raises its rate, every provider passes the change on in some form. Because our tables update automatically, the price you see when a renewal invoice is created reflects the current rate rather than an old one.
For .pk names, the two-year term means renewals come round less often, which some customers find easier to manage. The flip side is that each invoice is larger, so it helps to know the due date well in advance and set the money aside rather than being caught by a bigger bill than expected.
If you hold a name purely to protect your brand and no longer need it, the renewal date is the natural time to let it go. If you depend on it, renew early. Paying a little before the due date costs nothing extra and removes the risk of the website or mailboxes stopping while a payment is still being processed.
Building a yearly budget for your domain names
Start by listing every name the business owns, the extension, the term and the next renewal date. For many small companies that list is only two or three lines, but larger organisations are often surprised by how many names they hold once marketing campaigns, old brands and protective variations are counted.
Next, convert each price to a cost per year. Halve the figure for .pk names on two-year terms and take international names at their yearly rate. Add the totals together and you have a realistic annual figure for domains alone, separate from hosting, email and certificates, which makes it much easier to defend in a budget meeting.
Leave room for change. A new product launch, a move into another market or a request from a partner for a specific country ending can all add names during the year, and a registry price review can raise the cost of names you already hold. A small margin in the budget prevents a useful registration from being delayed for lack of approval.
Finally, decide who is responsible for paying. Domains are lost most often when everyone assumes someone else is handling the renewal. Naming one person or department, with access to the client area and the payment method, is the simplest budgeting decision of all and the one that protects the business most.
How the cost of an extension relates to its value
The cheapest extension is not always the best value. A name that customers remember and trust brings in visitors for years, while a cheap ending that people mistype or distrust may cost you far more in lost enquiries than you save on the invoice. Price is one factor among several, alongside audience, trust and how easily the name can be spoken.
For a business selling mainly inside Pakistan, a .pk or .com.pk name usually offers the best balance. It tells visitors and search engines who you serve, and the two-year PKNIC term spreads the cost. For international sales, a .com name remains the ending people try first, even if another extension looks cheaper on paper.
Country endings for overseas markets can be more expensive, partly because some registries charge more and partly because a few require local details or extra checks. If you are entering a specific market, the cost is often worth it, because local buyers respond better to a familiar ending than to a generic one.
Newer generic endings can be tempting when your preferred .com or .pk is taken. Before choosing one, compare its renewal price as well as its first-year price, and consider whether your customers will recognise it. Our sales team can help you weigh the options without pushing you towards the most expensive answer.
Paying for domain registrations and renewals locally
Domain invoices can be paid in the way that suits you best. Many customers use a bank transfer to Standard Chartered, Bank Alfalah or HBL, while others prefer mobile wallets such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, UBL Omni, Mobicash or U Paisa. Visa and Mastercard cards and PayPal are accepted for customers who want to pay online in one step.
For customers abroad, Western Union and MoneyGram are also available, and a cheque can be deposited into our bank account. Cash payments are not accepted. Whatever method you choose, keep the transaction reference and share it with our billing team if the payment is not matched automatically, so the order is not held up.
Payment timing matters most for renewals. A registration is only processed after payment is confirmed, and a renewal is only sent to the registry once the invoice is settled. Paying a few days before the due date, rather than on the last day, gives time for bank transfers to clear and avoids any interruption to your website or email.
Keep in mind that domain fees are paid onwards to the registry as soon as a service is provisioned, which is why we do not offer refunds once a name has been registered or renewed. Double-check the name, ending and term in your cart before you pay, and our team will gladly answer questions first.
Price factors by type of domain
A quick comparison of how term, paperwork and audience differ between the main families of names we register.

| .edu.pk and .ac.pk | 2 years via PKNIC | Recognition documents | Recognised schools, colleges and universities |
| Government .pk | 2 years via PKNIC | Authorisation letter | Government departments and bodies |
| .com, .net, .org | Yearly | Owner details only | International audiences and exporters |
| Country endings | Set by each registry | Varies by registry | Businesses entering a specific market |
Ways to keep domain spending under control
Domains are inexpensive one at a time, but the total grows quietly as a business adds names. These habits keep the cost sensible without putting important names at risk.
Renew before the due date
Paying a renewal a week early costs exactly the same as paying on the last day, but it leaves time for bank transfers to clear and removes any chance of a lapse or a costly recovery.
Drop names you no longer use
Old campaign names and abandoned brands keep billing every term. Review the list when renewals arrive and let go of names that no longer protect or promote anything.
Compare the cost per year
A .pk price covers two years, while most international names are priced for one. Divide before comparing so the cheaper-looking ending is not chosen by mistake.
Use one payment method
Paying every domain from the same card, wallet or bank account makes renewals easy to track and stops one invoice from being missed among many.
Name one responsible person
Give one person or department the duty of approving renewals, with access to the client area, so nobody assumes that someone else has already paid.
Keep names in one account
Holding every domain with one provider means one renewal calendar and one set of invoices, which makes the yearly total far easier to see and plan for.
Buying names for resale or renewing with PKNIC cards?
Domain reseller pricing and PKNIC prepaid cards are arranged through our sales team rather than sold from this price list. Contact sales with the extensions and volumes you expect, and we will explain the options available to you.
What can change a domain price during the year
Domain prices are less stable than many people expect. Registries review their own charges, sometimes with only a few months of notice, and those reviews flow through to every provider that sells the extension. A price you paid two years ago is therefore not a promise for the next renewal, which is why we display rates that sync automatically rather than fixed figures typed into a page.
Exchange rates also play a part for international and country endings, because many registries charge providers in foreign currency. When the rupee moves, the cost of those names can move with it, so a business that holds several overseas endings should expect some variation from one renewal to the next and keep a little room in its budget for it.
The best protection against surprises is to check this page when a renewal invoice arrives and, for names you rely on, to renew in good time. If you hold many names and want to plan ahead for a registry review, our sales team can tell you which of your extensions are most likely to change.
Remember too that the price of a name is only one line in the cost of being online. Hosting, email and certificates add their own amounts, and comparing providers only on the domain fee can be misleading. Our entry shared plans and every WordPress plan include a free certificate installed by our team, so the total you pay for a working, secure website is often lower than separate purchases would suggest.
Domain price and renewal questions
Why are .pk prices shown for two years instead of one?
PKNIC, the registry for Pakistani names, registers and renews .pk domains in two-year terms rather than single years. The price you see therefore covers the full two-year period, not one year. When comparing a .pk name with a .com or a country ending priced per year, divide the .pk figure by two to see the true yearly cost before you decide.
Is the price different if my address is outside Pakistan?
It can be. PKNIC may charge more when the registrant address on a .pk name is outside Pakistan, so overseas Pakistanis and foreign companies sometimes pay a higher rate than local applicants. If you live abroad and want a .pk name, contact our sales team before ordering and we will confirm the correct amount for your situation.
Do you charge extra for DNS management?
No. DNS management is included with every domain you register with us, so you can point the name to a website, set up email records and add subdomains without paying a separate fee. If you prefer, our support team can enter the records for you. The domain price shown on this page is the price of the name itself.
Can I get a discount for registering many domains?
Agencies, developers and businesses that manage a large number of names can talk to our sales team about the domain reseller programme. We do not publish reseller rates on this page, so contact sales with an idea of how many names you handle each year and which extensions they use, and we will explain what is available.
Are domain prices charged in rupees or dollars?
The prices on this page are shown in Pakistani rupees and are synced automatically from our billing system, so the figure in the table is the figure on your invoice. Some international and country registries set their own costs in other currencies, which is one reason a listed price can change between one renewal and the next.
Can I get a refund if I register the wrong name?
No. A domain is registered with the registry as soon as the order is processed, and that cost cannot be recovered, so there are no refunds once a name has been provisioned. Check the spelling and the ending carefully in your cart before paying, and ask our team if you are unsure which of two similar names to choose.
Do government and education names cost more?
They are priced separately, and you can see their current rates in the education and government tables on this page. The bigger difference is paperwork rather than money. Education endings need recognition documents, and government endings need an authorisation letter, so allow time to gather those before the registry approves the name. Our team can review the papers before they are sent.
How can I pay a renewal invoice quickly?
Log in to the client area, open the unpaid invoice and choose the method that suits you, such as card, PayPal, Easypaisa, JazzCash or a bank transfer to Standard Chartered, Bank Alfalah or HBL. For bank and wallet payments, share the transaction reference with our billing team so the renewal can be matched and sent to the registry without delay.
