Register the name your customers will type
Search once and we check the name, then suggest the extensions worth holding beside it from the 343 we sell. Every domain comes with DNS management, a transfer lock and renewal reminders, priced in rupees or dollars and supported from Lahore.
Find your domain
Check any name and we suggest the extensions worth holding beside it, with the real price of each.
Already own a domain? Transfer it to us→Registering is the easy part. Keeping it yours is the job.
No upsell for the basics. DNS, locking, reminders and the registry paperwork come with the domain.
DNS you actually control
Edit A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and SRV records yourself, with changes live within minutes.
Transfer lock, on by default
Nobody moves your domain without the authorisation code, and we confirm with you before releasing one.
Renewals you cannot miss
Email reminders well before expiry, plus optional auto-renew so a live site never drops over an unpaid invoice.
Mail records set for you
Point mail at WebSols business email, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and we configure the records.
Privacy where the registry allows
WHOIS privacy protection is offered in the cart for extensions that permit it. Some country registries publish details by policy, and those cannot be hidden.
Engineers on the paperwork
Registry rules differ by extension. When a document check or a transfer stalls, our team chases it rather than sending you a link.
What the common extensions cost
Every price includes DNS management, the transfer lock and renewal reminders. Switch between rupees and dollars at any time.
Prices are per year and include DNS, transfer lock and renewal reminders. Where the renewal differs from the first year, both are shown. The full price list covers all 343 extensions.
See every extension and price →Three parties stand between a name and a website
Worth understanding before you buy, because it explains why some extensions cost more and why a few take longer to activate.
A registry owns the extension
Every extension sits with a registry: Verisign runs .com, PKNIC runs .pk. The registry sets the rules, the wholesale price and how long registrations last.
A registrar registers it for you
That is our side of the job. We hold the accreditation, submit your details to the registry, keep the registration current and handle correspondence when the registry asks questions.
DNS points the name somewhere
A domain on its own does nothing. DNS records connect it to your website, your mail and anything else you run, which is why the records below matter as much as the name.
Six things worth checking before you buy
A domain is cheap to register and expensive to change once it is printed on a vehicle, a signboard and every invoice.
Short enough to say out loud
If you have to spell it during a phone call, it is too long. A customer should be able to repeat it from memory after hearing it once.
Match the trading name
The closer the domain is to the name above your door, the less explaining you do. Abbreviations work when customers already use them.
Skip hyphens and digits
Both get lost in speech, and a customer typing from memory usually leaves them out and lands on somebody else's site.
Type it on a phone first
Most visitors arrive from a phone. Awkward letter combinations and doubled letters cause more typos there than on a keyboard.
Check the name is free elsewhere
Look for an existing trademark and check the handle is available on the networks you use, so the brand stays consistent.
Hold the obvious variants
Registering the common misspelling, and the local extension beside the global one, costs little and keeps somebody else from trading on your name.
Which extension should you register?
There are three broad families, and most businesses end up holding one of each.
Global extensions
The names customers assume by default. If you sell beyond one city or expect anyone abroad to find you, this is where to start.
Country extensions
Tied to a place. They tell a visitor, and a search engine, which market you serve, which helps for local searches and does nothing for international ones.
Specialist extensions
The word after the dot carries meaning. Useful when the exact global name has gone, or when the extension itself describes what you do.
In practice .com is still the address customers type first, in Pakistan as much as anywhere. A common approach is to register the .com and add the extensions your search suggests alongside it, so nobody else trades on the name.
From search to live in four steps
Most global extensions are registered within minutes of your payment being recorded.
Search
Type the name once. We check it live and suggest the extensions worth holding beside it, each with its price.
Register
Add the names to the cart and check out. You get an order number and an invoice, and pay by bank transfer or in cash at our office.
Point it
Use our nameservers or your own. Tell us where the site and mail live and we set the records.
Keep it
Transfer lock on, reminders before expiry and every domain you own in one dashboard.
The domain is registered as soon as your payment is recorded; most global extensions are live within minutes of that. Country extensions follow their registry's process and can take longer when documents are checked, and we track the request until it completes.
The records that make a domain do something
Edit them yourself in the dashboard, or send us the target and we will set them for you.
| Record | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| A | Points the domain at a server's IPv4 address, which is how most websites are reached. | @ → 203.0.113.10 |
| AAAA | The same thing for IPv6, used where the network supports it. | @ → 2001:db8::10 |
| CNAME | Points one name at another name, commonly for www or a service subdomain. | www → example.com |
| MX | Sends mail for the domain to the right mail servers, with a priority for each. | @ → mail.example.com (10) |
| TXT | Holds verification strings and mail policies such as SPF, DKIM and DMARC. | v=spf1 include:_spf.example.com ~all |
| NS | Names the servers that answer for the domain. Change these to move DNS somewhere else. | ns1.websols.pk |
Record changes usually take effect within minutes, though some networks cache old answers for up to 24 hours. Mail records are worth getting right before you move a live mailbox.
What a domain does, and does not do, for SEO
Plainly, because a lot of advice about this is a decade out of date.
Extensions do not rank
Search engines rank pages, not the letters after the dot. A .com does not outrank a .pk, and stuffing a keyword into the domain stopped being a shortcut years ago.
Pick one address and redirect the rest
Serve the site from a single canonical hostname, with or without www, and redirect every other version to it. Splitting traffic across both dilutes the signals a page has earned.
Keep the domain through a redesign
Links and history accumulate against the domain, not the design. Rebuild the site on the same address where you can, and map old URLs to new ones when you cannot.
Country extensions signal audience
A .pk tells a search engine your audience is in Pakistan. That helps for local queries and is neutral to unhelpful for international ones, so choose by who you sell to.
Put the domain beside your hosting
Take a hosting plan with your domain and the two sit on one account and one invoice. Bought together, DNS, SSL and mail are configured before you log in for the first time.

The things people ask us most about domains.
How long does registration take?
The domain is registered as soon as your payment is recorded. Global extensions such as .com, .net and .org are usually live within minutes of that. Country extensions go through their own registry and can take longer when documents need checking. We track the request and tell you where it stands rather than leaving you to guess.
