Digital-Marketing.pkFor a basic business website in Pakistan, budget roughly PKR 3,500 to 12,500 a year for a .com or .pk domain plus shared hosting, based on published Pakistani price breakdowns. Faster hosting, premium theme and plugin licences, and paid maintenance push the yearly total higher.

What changes your yearly bill
- Renewal prices. Many hosts discount the first year; check the renewal rate before you buy.
- Site type. A WooCommerce store with hundreds of products needs more server resources than a five-page clinic site.
- Server location. Buyers in Pakistan, the UK or the Gulf are best served from nearby data centres.
- Dollar billing. Licences and many international hosts charge in USD, so PKR costs move with the exchange rate.
What this means for your business
Hosting is a small line in your budget, but cheap shared servers can slow a site enough to lose enquiries. Compare providers in our best hosting in Pakistan guide, and register the domain and hosting in your business name. Our website development service lists every renewal date at handover, and our WordPress builds note which licences are needed.
Frequently asked questions
Is free hosting good enough for a business?
No. Free plans usually show ads, limit storage, lack backups and can disappear without notice. For the cost of a few thousand rupees a year, paid shared hosting usually includes domain email, SSL and support.
Should I choose a Pakistani or international host?
Choose by where your visitors are and the support you need. Local hosts accept PKR payments and are easy to reach; international hosts may suit overseas buyers. Test speed from your audience's location.
Who should own the domain?
Your business, always. Register it with your own email and keep the login. Developers should be added as users, so you never need to request a transfer.
