.pk is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Pakistan. It is administered by PKNIC.
Traditionally, registrations were at the third level under various labels:
- .COM.PK - General Business, or Individual
- .NET.PK - Network Related Business
- .EDU.PK - Educational Institutes
- .ORG.PK - Non-profit Organizations
- .FAM.PK - Family and Individuals
- .BIZ.PK - General Business, Promotional
- .WEB.PK - Web Sites
- .GOV.PK - Domains for Government of Pakistan
- .GOB.PK - Domains for Government of Baluchistan
- .GOK.PK - Domains for Government of Azad Kashmir
- .GON.PK - Domains for Government of NWFP
- .GOP.PK - Domains for Government of Punjab
- .GOS.PK - Domains for Government of Sindh
However, as of 2005 second-level registration became available, starting with a Sunrise Period limited to trademark holders. PKNIC started open registration of second-level .pk domains (eg - example.pk instead of example.com.pk) on 20 June, 2006 after the sunrise and land rush period.
