[rmacdon]

Hi,
Does anyone know how the .pk domains are doing? How many are registered / sales etc?
Thanks,
Rob

Not sure how many are registered but many I own do quite well parked at Sedo and are on their way to paying for their registration.
If Sedo ever gets it together you will see a nice .pk sale reported soon.
There is potential in this 'diamond-in-the-rough' extension!

Pakistan Facts:
"Official languages: Urdu and English"
"Pakistan is the sixth most populous country in the world and is the second most populous country with a Muslim majority"
"Recently, wide-ranging economic reforms have resulted in a stronger economic outlook and accelerated growth especially in the manufacturing and financial services sectors. There has been great improvement in the foreign exchange position and rapid growth in hard currency reserves in recent years."

PS The .pk registry limits domain name registration to 4 characters minimum

Thanks - I registered about 15 top generics when they launched. Some get traffic which is very cool.

Anyone able to add more info about .pk registrations?
Thanks

.pk domains can do well because the fact is that Governments, education departments and organizations are prefering to register their domains on .pk rather then .com
like
pvma.org.pk
pakistan.gov.pk
hec.edu.pk

I think if they are not doing well at the moment, but they will do allot better in near future. Pakistan is on the way to true democracy!

Thank you.

Very unfortunate for Pakistan. Hopefully the will of the people will prevail.

Interestingly, I have had offers for several of my generic .PK names recently.

Yes its really shameful because the previous Govt really boosted up Pakistan in almost every way and the General who they call a a Dictator now was behind all the progress but now the culprit's are back and trying to take that way , God Help us.
