.pk is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Pakistan. The domain name registry that operates it is PKNIC.
As of 2007, second-level registration for the .pk domain became available.
A second top-level domain will be used for Pakistan, intended for domain names in Urdu. The string پاکستان. was registered and approved for this purpose in early 2011 but is not active yet and lower lever domains have not been granted as of yet.
