.pk or .com? How to choose the right domain for your business
A .pk domain tells customers you are a Pakistani business; a .com works everywhere. Here is how to decide — and why many businesses register both.
Your domain is your address on the internet, so it is worth a few minutes of thought.
When to choose .pk or .com.pk
- Your customers are mainly in Pakistan
- You want people to know you are a local business
- The .com version of your name is already taken
.pk domains are registered through PKNIC, Pakistan's domain registry.
When to choose .com
- You sell to customers outside Pakistan
- You plan to grow into other countries
- You want the most familiar ending
Our advice
If your budget allows, register both and point one to the other. This protects your brand and stops others from taking the name.
Tips for a good domain name
- Keep it short and easy to spell
- Avoid numbers and hyphens
- Say it out loud — would a customer type it correctly after hearing it once?
