Hosting, Country by Country
Web hosting for Pakistan buyers
The things that genuinely change when you order from Pakistan: which local domains we can register, what your card gets charged, how far our servers sit from you, where you stand on tax, and the payment methods we still cannot take.
What Changes Locally
Ordering from Pakistan, in detail
No template with a country name dropped into it. Every line below moves depending on where you are standing.
Domains from here
.pk, .com.pk, .net.pk, .org.pk — we stock these and register them direct.
Price tags in your money
Tags read in PKR; the card is billed in USD. Your bank does the conversion and may take a cut for it.
Distance to our racks
Roughly 120–200 ms there and back. We clocked about 200 ms of TCP connect time out of Pakistan. Cached pages hold up; admin panels labour.
Staffed round your clock
PKT — five hours in front of our team, so our small hours are your afternoon. We aim to reply inside 2 hours, whatever the hour, in English.
Local Extensions
The price tag on your national ending
Figures lifted straight off our price list, not rounded-off guesses.
| Domain ending | Year one |
|---|---|
| .pk | $19.99a year, minimum two years |
| .com.pk | $19.99a year, minimum two years |
| .net.pk | $19.99a year, minimum two years |
| .org.pk | $19.99a year, minimum two years |
Read the whole price list — all 65 endings we register.
Pakistan in Particular
The part that applies only here
This is the one market where we can do something almost no international host manages: we register .pk names directly with PKNIC, the official .pk registry. Neither Namecheap nor our upstream platform can see .pk at all, which is why most foreign hosts leave it off the shelf entirely. Mind PKNIC's two-year minimum — a .pk costs $39.98 for two years, not one. We measured roughly 200 ms of connect time from Pakistan to our London servers, so cached pages hold up while admin work will feel heavier.
At the Till
What the till takes, and what it turns away
Where our accepted methods and your country's habits part company — said here, not sprung on you at checkout.
Accepted here
Visa, Mastercard and American Express, credit or debit, issued in Pakistan or anywhere else, provided the card is cleared for international payments. Stripe handles the transaction, so the card numbers never touch our servers.
Not on the till yet
JazzCash, Easypaisa and local bank transfer — and here the gap genuinely matters. PayPal does not serve consumers in Pakistan at all, so without a card cleared for international payments you cannot pay us today. Better you hear that from us before you shop than after.

Across the Counter
What buyers in Pakistan ask us
Can I order from Pakistan?
Yes. Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards issued in Pakistan all go through, and the account builds itself the moment the payment clears — nobody signs it off by hand, and nothing requires you to sit in the UK. The tag reads in PKR so you can weigh up the cost; the charge lands on your card in USD.
What do people in Pakistan usually pay with, and does your till take it?
Straight answer rather than the flattering one. JazzCash, Easypaisa and local bank transfer — and here the gap genuinely matters. PayPal does not serve consumers in Pakistan at all, so without a card cleared for international payments you cannot pay us today. Better you hear that from us before you shop than after. A card cleared for international payments is the one method we can always take. Better you learn that here than after you have spent an hour picking a plan.
Will the site feel quick to visitors in Pakistan?
The machines sit in London, about 120–200 ms from you. We clocked about 200 ms of TCP connect time out of Pakistan. Cached pages hold up; admin panels labour. In practice a first-time reader pulling a cached page rarely feels the distance, because that page can come from an edge location near them. Where the distance shows is logged-in work — the WordPress admin, a checkout, anything that cannot be cached — since every action travels to London and back. Our infrastructure page spells out what a CDN fixes and what it leaves alone.
Is there tax to pay on an order placed in Pakistan?
You sit outside both the UK and the EU, so no VAT goes onto your order. Whatever local tax may apply to importing a service is yours to work out — worth five minutes with your accountant if you are buying as a registered business.
Must I be in the UK to hold an account?
No. The company behind the counter is British — Bohzo Ltd, registered in England and Wales under number 15031604, which anyone can check on the public Companies House register — but buying hosting carries no residency test and no business-registration test. An order placed in Pakistan runs through exactly as a London one does.
And if it turns out to be the wrong fit?
Hosting plans give you 30 days to change your mind; reseller plans give you 7. That is long enough to put a real site up and time it against your own audience instead of taking our figures on trust. If it does not suit, ask for the money back. Domain registrations are the one exception — the registry bills us the second a name is registered, so those cannot be refunded.
