.Clinic Domain Registration

Patients now search for a doctor the way they search for anything else: on a phone, late at night, comparing timings and fees. A .clinic domain gives your practice an address that patients recognise immediately. Register it with WinsHosting in rupees and build a site for appointments, services and directions.

Who benefits from a .clinic web address

.clinic is a generic top-level domain from ICANN's new gTLD programme, run by Identity Digital, the registry formerly known as Donuts. It belongs to the registry's healthcare group of extensions together with names such as .dental and .care. Registration is open: the registry does not ask for a medical licence, so responsibility for honest use rests with the person who registers it.

In Pakistan the word clinic covers a very wide range of practices. There are general practitioners' evening clinics in residential areas, specialist consultants seeing patients at private clinics after hospital hours, dental surgeries, dermatology and aesthetic clinics, physiotherapy and rehabilitation centres, fertility clinics, eye clinics, child specialists, homeopathic and herbal practitioners, nutrition and diet counsellors, and veterinary clinics for pets and livestock. Many of them rely on word of mouth and a listing on a booking app, and few own a website that is truly theirs.

A .clinic address solves that neatly. drsana.clinic, smiledental.clinic or gulbergphysio.clinic tells patients what to expect before they open the page, and leaves room for the doctor's name or the locality. It can be used on prescription pads, signboards and appointment cards without looking crowded.

WinsHosting, based in Johar Town, Lahore, has helped Pakistani professionals get online since 2003 and is a PKNIC accredited reseller. We can register your .clinic domain together with a .pk version, set up secure hosting and professional email, and explain the steps in plain language. The sections below deal with cost, how different practices use the extension, online appointments and buying the domain, plus questions doctors commonly ask us.

Putting a .clinic Website Live for Your Practice

From choosing the name to taking the first online booking, this is the order most doctors follow.

  1. 1

    Shortlist .clinic names patients can spell

    Write down three options using the doctor's surname, the speciality or the area, such as drnaveed.clinic or dhaskin.clinic, then read each aloud to a receptionist to test it over the phone.

  2. 2

    Check and register the .clinic address

    Search the name on our domain checkout, add the matching .pk if it is free, and pay in rupees by bank transfer, JazzCash, Easypaisa or card.

  3. 3

    Attach hosting and a practice mailbox

    Point the .clinic name to a shared hosting plan and create addresses such as appointments@ so patient enquiries stop arriving on a personal Gmail account.

  4. 4

    Publish timings, fees and the clinic map

    Put consultation days, fee ranges, the PM&DC-registered doctor's qualifications and a Google Maps pin on the first screen, because those are the details patients look for on a phone.

  5. 5

    Switch on .clinic booking and reminders

    Add a simple appointment form or WhatsApp button, test it from two mobile networks, then print the .clinic address on prescription pads, signboards and follow-up cards.

Features that matter for a .clinic website

Medical websites carry personal information and need to inspire confidence. Every .clinic order includes these essentials.

HTTPS for every .clinic page

Appointment and contact forms on a .clinic site often include names, phone numbers and symptoms. Hosting with us comes with SSL so that information travels encrypted and browsers show the padlock patients look for.

Professional .clinic email

Reply to patients and labs from reception@ or the doctor's own address on the .clinic domain. It looks more trustworthy than a personal Gmail account and keeps practice mail separate from family mail.

Location details for .clinic sites

Add your clinic's map, landmarks, parking advice and timings. Patients in busy areas such as Saddar or Blue Area need clear directions, and accurate location data supports your Google Business Profile.

.clinic registered to the doctor

We register the domain in the doctor's or practice's own name. If you change your web developer or booking platform, your .clinic address stays yours and moves wherever you choose.

Phone support for busy practices

Doctors rarely have time to wait in long chat queues. Call our Lahore office or open a ticket and our staff will help with DNS, email or SSL on your .clinic domain.

.clinic Domain Price in Pakistan

The .clinic domain price in Pakistan at WinsHosting is Rs 4,500 per year. You can see the current rate in the price box on this page, and you pay in rupees with no setup charge. For most practices this is less than the fee for a handful of consultations, and the address will work for years if renewed on time.

Medical practices tend to stay in one place for a long time, and patients keep appointment cards and prescriptions for years. That makes a multi-year registration sensible. Paying for three, five or ten years at once fixes the price in today's rupees and removes the risk of the domain lapsing while the doctor is busy. If you prefer to pay yearly, switch on auto-renew in the client area so the renewal happens on its own.

Certain generic words, such as skin.clinic or heart.clinic, may be priced as premium by the registry because many practices around the world want them. The cart will show the exact fee if your choice is premium. A name based on the doctor's name, the practice name or the area is almost always at the standard .clinic price. Budget separately for hosting and email: a simple practice website runs comfortably on our shared hosting plans, while a large multi-doctor centre with heavy traffic may need more resources.

.clinic Domain for Doctors and Medical Practices

A .clinic domain for doctors and medical practices works as the online front desk of the practice. When a patient hears about a consultant from a relative, the first thing they do is search the doctor's name. A clear website at drname.clinic, showing qualifications, specialities, clinic timings, fee guidance and the address, answers most of their questions before they call.

Doctors should present information carefully and truthfully. Include registration details with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council, list qualifications exactly as awarded, and avoid promises of cure or guaranteed results. Before-and-after photos should only be used with written patient consent and should not be edited. Medical professionals are also subject to ethics rules on advertising, so if in doubt, keep the tone informative rather than promotional.

A good practice website also helps colleagues. General practitioners referring patients can find a specialist's contact details quickly, and laboratories can confirm where to send reports. Group practices can create a page for each doctor, with individual schedules and specialities, all under one .clinic name. For doctors who consult at several hospitals during the week, a weekly schedule table on the site saves reception staff dozens of phone calls. Make sure the information is updated whenever timings change, especially during Ramadan and public holidays.

.clinic Website for Online Appointments

A .clinic website for online appointments can reduce waiting-room crowding and phone pressure on receptionists. Patients choose a date and time slot, enter their name and number, and receive a confirmation by SMS, email or WhatsApp. Reception sees bookings in one place instead of in a notebook, and the doctor's day becomes more predictable.

There are several ways to set this up. A WordPress site on our hosting can use an appointment plugin with time slots and reminders. Alternatively, if you already use a booking platform or practice management software that supports custom domains, you can point a subdomain such as book.yourname.clinic to it through a CNAME record. Either way, the patient sees your own address, not a third party's brand.

Video consultations have become normal since 2020, and many Pakistani doctors now offer follow-ups by video call to patients in other cities or abroad. Your .clinic site can explain how these work, how fees are paid by bank transfer or mobile wallet, and which cases still require an in-person visit. Protect patient privacy throughout: do not ask for more medical detail than necessary in web forms, keep the site on HTTPS, store records securely and limit staff access. Patients who trust your process are more likely to book again and recommend you.

.clinic Domain for Dental, Skin and Physio Clinics

A .clinic domain for dental, skin and physio clinics fits practices where patients actively compare options before choosing. People research braces, implants, laser treatments, acne care, hair restoration and physiotherapy programmes, often across several providers, before committing. A well-organised website on your own .clinic address gives you space to explain procedures, recovery times and fee ranges.

Dental practices can describe each treatment with diagrams and a short video, explain whether consultations are charged, and show their sterilisation process. Skin and aesthetic clinics can answer common questions about treatment suitability for different skin types, which is particularly relevant for South Asian skin, and state clearly who performs each procedure. Physiotherapy centres can publish exercise guides, explain post-surgery rehabilitation and list sports injuries they treat.

If your practice focuses on dentistry alone, compare the .clinic name with a .dental one; some practices register both and redirect one to the other. Veterinary clinics, too, use the extension, and a pet clinic in DHA or a livestock practice in rural Punjab can both benefit from an address that says clinic plainly. Whatever the speciality, add original photos of your premises and team, because patients want to see where they will be treated. Stock images of smiling models do less to build trust than a real photograph of your reception area.

Buy .clinic Domain Name

To buy a .clinic domain name, use the search on this page to check availability, then add the name to your cart and choose a term of one to ten years. Log in or create a WinsHosting account, and pay with JazzCash, Easypaisa, a bank card, PayPal or a deposit at any branch of our partner banks. Card and wallet payments activate the domain within minutes.

No medical documents are required by the registry, so you can buy the domain even before a new practice opens. You must, however, supply accurate registrant contact details, preferably the doctor's or the practice's legal name, a working email and phone number, and the clinic address. After the purchase, ICANN rules require you to verify that email address by clicking a link; if you do not, the domain may be suspended until you do.

Names can include letters, numbers and hyphens up to 63 characters. Think about how patients will type the address: avoid unusual spellings of your name, and if your surname is commonly spelled several ways, consider registering the main variants. The new .clinic name cannot be transferred to another registrar for the first 60 days, but you can attach hosting, configure email and launch your site immediately. Our team can also set up an SSL certificate and a basic site for you through our web design service.

Patient Privacy on a .clinic Website

Never ask patients to upload reports, CNIC copies or prescriptions through an ordinary contact form or a shared inbox. Keep the booking form to name, phone number and preferred time, and discuss medical details in person or over a secure channel.

Make sure HTTPS is active before the form goes live, and avoid publishing patient photos or testimonials that identify someone without their written consent. Our support team can help you enable SSL on the .clinic site.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a PMDC licence to register a .clinic domain?

The registry does not ask for one, so technically anyone can register. However, if you present medical services on the site, Pakistani law and professional ethics require you to be appropriately qualified and registered. Patients increasingly check registration numbers online, so displaying yours openly is good practice and builds trust.

Can a hospital use a .clinic domain for its outpatient department?

Yes. Hospitals sometimes give outpatient services, a specialist centre or a satellite clinic its own .clinic address for appointments and timings, while the main hospital site stays on .com or .pk. Link both sites to each other so patients can see the connection and trust that the outpatient page is official.

Is .clinic or .com better for a doctor's personal website?

If your name is available on .com, it is a fine choice. Often it is not, especially for common Pakistani names. A .clinic version describes your profession clearly and is usually available. Search engines treat both equally, so the decision is about availability and how the name reads to patients.

Can I list my .clinic website on Google Maps and booking apps?

Yes. Add the .clinic address as the website on your Google Business Profile and on any booking app profiles you maintain. Linking from those listings to your own site gives patients a fuller picture and helps search engines connect your listings with your domain. Keep details such as timings consistent everywhere.

What should a homeopathic or herbal clinic avoid on a .clinic site?

Avoid claims that a remedy cures serious diseases or replaces medical treatment, and be clear about your qualifications. Describe what you offer honestly, mention when patients should see a doctor, and do not use testimonials that promise results. Responsible content protects patients and also reduces the risk of complaints.

Can a veterinary practice register a .clinic domain?

Yes. Animal clinics are a natural fit, and owners searching for a vet for their cat, dog, horse or livestock will understand the address immediately. If you mainly treat pets, mention emergency availability and home visits clearly, since those are the details pet owners look for first.

How do I keep patient enquiries from my .clinic site private?

Use HTTPS, send form submissions to a secure mailbox rather than a shared personal account, use strong passwords and two-factor authentication on email and the website, and delete enquiries you no longer need. Do not ask for detailed medical history in a public contact form; collect it at the consultation instead.

Can I move my existing practice website to a new .clinic address?

Yes. Register the new name, copy the site to it, then set up permanent 301 redirects from every old page to the matching new page. This preserves most of your search visibility. Keep the old domain registered for at least a year or two, because patients will still have it on old cards.
