About
We hold names Pakistani businesses haven't needed yet
NameMarket.pk is a curated portfolio of 145+ premium .pk domains, each with a clear asking price, and a naming consultancy for founders.
Why this exists
In 2019 we sold themes.pk for USD 2,000. The buyer was in Karachi. The marketplace was in Germany. A Pakistani business buying a Pakistani domain from a Pakistani seller had to route the whole transaction through an international platform, because there was no credible local place to do it.
That gap is the business. We acquire and hold .pk names that Pakistani companies will eventually need, and we sell them properly: with a real price, a documented transfer, and escrow where the buyer wants it.
How we price
Two things, and they pull against each other.
First, most premium .pk names are underpriced relative to what they're worth to the right buyer. A word like bank or sovereign on the national registry isn't a hosting expense; it's a permanent piece of a brand.
Second, most valuations you see quoted are invented. Automated appraisal tools produce confident numbers with nothing behind them. We set our asking prices against recorded public sales, and where no comparable exists (for Urdu-language names, none does yet) we reason from fundamentals instead: length, category, keyword demand, and how much of the marketing job the name does on its own.
If we quote you a figure, you can ask where it came from. That is the whole standard.
How we work with buyers
Four commitments
The same rules apply whether the name costs USD 790 or USD 49,000.
A clear price on every name
Every listed name has an asking price. You can buy at that price, or make a reasoned offer.
Escrow on request, always
Escrow.com or Sedo for anything substantial. You should never have to trust a stranger with a wire transfer.
Instalments on higher-value names
A serious business shouldn't be blocked by cash-flow timing on a one-off asset.
We'll tell you not to buy
If a name is wrong for what you're building, saying so costs us one sale and earns a referral.
The consulting side
Roughly half the people who enquire about a domain don't have a name problem yet: they have a business-definition problem. The naming tiers exist for them, as a paid engagement with a written deliverable that ends in a name you can register and defend. Sometimes that name is one of ours. Often it isn't, and that's fine.
Who is behind it
NameMarket.pk is run by Umar Farooq, with a background in web development, branding and design. That's why the portfolio is curated rather than accumulated: every name here was registered because someone specific will one day need it.
