Hi there,

the top level .pk domain names are open for registration as of today and i was wondering if i should maybe reg a few? Is it a wise investment?

Seriously though, if you want to grab 2 & 3 LLL's, now's your time!

minimum length of domain is 4 chars

All good keywords were preordered. At this point, there is no point in regging subpar keywords.

I don't know, I looked and found cars, blog, vlog, wiki, and a few others.

 

[mis_chiff]

all the ones I have checked say available as well, there must be a delay...
cause there is no way there not gone yet...but ya never know - .pk just opened today...

Vlog Wiki are not premium keywords.

FYI there was a landrush in 1/20/06 where you could preregister .pk names.

 

[Domainate.com]

None of the good ones I'm looking up are available. Plundered indeed...

I picked up Porn.PK in the reg... Hopefully it'll do alright for me Hope you all get something

 

[Sam]

Congrats Husky... although adult websites are illegal in pakistan. Solid KEYWORD IMO! Was going to preorder in january if it wasnt for the adult restriction.

Pokguy.pk should be available to reg ;D

A link that i found in another post gave me the impression everything needs to be done via email and then i used the other link to find out they have a online form application

Their interface sucks big time man! Usability is below par.

I had to go through the whole registration process to find out that the name was already registered or alloted to someone else.
I checked their WHOIS look up and was suprised to see POKER.PK was available.

Of course their WHOIS doesn't update so quickly but i went through the whole registration process to find out in the end it was no longer available.

To be expected of course but one has to try right?

I used pakhost.com to register mine. The problem is they don't allow you to manage your .pk domain online! I had set up the DNS at the time of purchase but for some reason when I check my account is says EMPTY in those slots. I've emailed support, hopefully they'll fix this.

PS here's a link to check .pk whois:

[singx]

[sarcasm] I bet alqaeda.pk will grab a nice $$$ [/sarcasm]

Not any better than alqaeda.us

 

[Jo]

what did u register kerrijo?

Check my sig. :hehe:

ps - I also regged poker.net.pk a few days ago and had that in my sig, just changed it, probably why you didn't notice it. I think I'll change the color a bit. :D

 

[smub]

i wouldn't register it, unless it is a really good keyword. its good for long term investment, all i am going to say.

Good luck

Regarding my post about pakhost above...I received a nice return email from them saying they are swamped with orders, they've fixed my DNS settings for me and that they will be adding the option for us to have our own admin panel to transfer, update etc. our domains shortly (after the rush.)
