PRLog (Press Release) - Jun 15, 2009 -
At unique links ( http://unique-links.com.pk/dotpk.html/  ) we have made services of registration and hosting of Pakistan’s country level domain ie .pk domains. .pk domains are globally registered for 2 years as per pknic policy. You may like to keep this aspect in mind while comparing the cost of .pk domain or .com.pk domain with that of .com or .net etc.

All new domains that are registered under .PK, must belong to one of the following second-level or third-level domains. Meaning you can select your domain name extension as one of the following.  You find hosting costs of these at http://unique-links.com.pk/dotpk.html
 
.PK   General Second Level Domains without .com.pk etc Suffix
.COM.PK   General Business, or Individual
