PKNIC Expired .PK Domains

Different TLDs have different registration periods; once the registration period ends, the domain owner can renew it for another term. If the registrant fails to renew, the domain expires and the owner can no longer use it until it's renewed. .COM domains are registered and renewed for a minimum of one year.

.PK is Pakistan's country-code top-level domain and the most widely used in the country. You can renew, transfer or register a .pk domain for a minimum of two years and a maximum of ten years. PKNIC .pk domains can also be registered and renewed with PKNIC prepaid cards. Once a domain expires it gets disabled, so renew at least 10–15 days before the expiry date to avoid any downtime.

An expired .PK domain goes into a redemption period if not renewed in time. After a few days the domain is disabled and the website goes down; if it's still not renewed, the domain is deleted from the account and you're no longer its owner. PKNIC holds good domain names and sells them through auction, so a good, easy-to-remember name may never come back if it's lost to expiry.

PKNIC can hold expired domains for a period at its own discretion, and good, high-demand names are usually sold through auction. PKNIC announces the auction date at least a week in advance, and the domain goes to whoever places the highest bid.

Domain names for which nobody placed a bid are later released by PKNIC and can be registered by anyone on a first-come, first-served basis. Stay in touch with PK DOMAIN to hear about newly released expired .pk domain names as they become available.
