What PKNIC Does

PKNIC manages .pk domain registry operations. These operations include:

Registration and maintenance of .pk domains

PKNIC is responsible for administering the “PK domain namespace”, including registration and maintenance of all PK domain names.

DNS server operations for PKNIC domains

This includes the operation of the DNS for the Root-Servers for PK domains.

Please note: PKNIC does not provide services for any other top-level domain (e.g. .com, .net, .org). In the initial days of the internet, until approximately the year 1998, PKNIC offered free domains.
