A Prepaid Balance For Anything We Sell
A PKNIC Card is a prepaid credit voucher, not a domain and not an identity document — despite the name, it has nothing to do with the CNIC or company-registration paperwork our .pk extension pages describe. Buy a card, and the value lands on your DomainHost account as spendable credit within seconds. From there it works exactly like a store credit balance: at checkout, your available credit is applied automatically to whatever you're buying, whether that's a new domain registration, a renewal, a transfer, or a hosting plan, and you only pay the difference in cash if the credit doesn't fully cover it.
The entire point of the PKNIC Card is to remove friction from the moments where identity verification genuinely isn't necessary. Registering a .pk or .com.pk domain directly requires a CNIC or company document because PKNIC, the registry itself, mandates it — that's a rule DomainHost has no ability to waive. But loading prepaid credit onto your own account carries no such requirement, because you're not registering anything yet; you're simply pre-funding a balance you'll spend later, the same way you'd load credit onto a transit card or a gift card at a retail counter. That distinction is what makes the card purchase itself instant, while the domain registration step that eventually draws down the balance still follows whatever verification rules apply to the specific extension you choose.
This makes the card useful in a handful of specific situations: parents or employers buying a domain as a gift without needing the recipient's ID upfront, agencies pre-loading a client's budget before the client has supplied verification paperwork, and freelancers or students who want to lock in today's price on a card and decide which exact domain to register later. The card itself never expires and isn't tied to a single extension — it's simply a balance sitting on your account, ready whenever you are.
- ✔ No CNIC, NICOP, or company document needed to buy a card
- ✔ Credit lands on your account instantly after payment
- ✔ Works toward any domain extension, hosting plan, or renewal
- ✔ Balance never expires and never resets
From Card To Domain In Three Steps
Buying and spending a PKNIC Card is deliberately simple, because the entire product exists to remove steps rather than add them. First, choose a card denomination and pay for it the same way you'd pay for anything else on DomainHost — credit card, PayPal, or bank transfer for larger amounts. Within seconds of the payment clearing, the credit (including any bonus percentage) appears as an account balance visible in your dashboard, with no separate activation step, confirmation email delay, or manual review queue standing between payment and usable balance.
Second, shop normally: search for a domain on the registration page, browse the pricing tables across our 40+ extensions, or add a hosting plan to your cart the way you always would. Your available credit is displayed at checkout automatically, and you can choose to apply all of it, some of it, or none of it to that particular order — nothing is forced, and unused credit simply stays on your account for the next purchase. If your order includes an extension that requires its own verification, like .pk or .com.pk, that requirement still applies at the registration step; the card only removes friction from funding the purchase, not from the registry's own rules for the domain itself.
Third, if the credit doesn't fully cover the order, you pay the remaining balance with a normal payment method in the same checkout — there's no need to split the purchase into two separate transactions. Because balances never expire and stack across multiple card purchases, many customers simply keep a running balance topped up rather than buying a new card for every single domain, treating it more like a prepaid account than a one-time voucher.
- ✔ Step 1: buy a card, credit lands instantly
- ✔ Step 2: shop normally, credit auto-applies at checkout
- ✔ Step 3: pay any remaining balance in the same checkout
- ✔ Extension-specific verification (e.g. .pk) still applies at registration

PKNIC Card FAQ
No. Buying credit requires no identity document at all. Verification only applies when you later register a domain extension that itself requires it, such as .pk or .com.pk — the card purchase step is entirely separate and unrestricted.
Yes. Card credit applies at checkout toward any purchase on DomainHost — domain registrations, renewals, transfers, and hosting plans alike.
Credit never expires and multiple card purchases simply add to the same account balance, so you can top up as often as you like and spend it whenever you're ready.
Yes. After checkout you'll receive a redemption code by email that can be forwarded to anyone — they simply enter it in their own DomainHost dashboard to load the balance onto their account.
Yes — the card only covers payment. Registering a .pk-family extension still requires the standard CNIC or company-document verification described on our domain pricing and extension pages, regardless of how you pay for it.
