For studios, crews and content makers

Registration of .productions Domain

Clients judge a production house by its showreel, and they find the showreel through a link. A .productions domain gives your studio, ad agency or YouTube channel a web address that announces the work you do. Register it with WinsHosting, pay in PKR and start sharing it with producers today.

How the .productions extension suits Pakistan's media industry

.productions began life in the Donuts catalogue of new gTLDs; since Donuts absorbed Afilias, the combined company, Identity Digital, has managed it. Registration is unrestricted, so you never have to show a production licence, a PEMRA connection or a company registration. Note the plural: the extension is .productions with an s, and that is how the address has to be typed.

Pakistan's screen and audio sector has grown well beyond television dramas. Ad agencies in Karachi make commercials for telecom and FMCG brands, independent crews in Lahore shoot music videos and wedding films, Islamabad teams produce documentaries for NGOs, and thousands of creators run YouTube and TikTok channels as small businesses. Many of these outfits already call themselves something Productions, so the extension matches a naming habit the industry already has.

That habit is exactly why .com and .pk versions are hard to find. Names like khanproductions.com or starproductions.pk were taken years ago. With .productions, the trade word moves into the extension, and you can often register just your brand: khan.productions, nightowl.productions or dhoop.productions. The result is shorter, easier to read on a credit roll and simpler to say in a pitch meeting.

We have looked after web addresses for Pakistani clients out of our Lahore office since 2003, and our PKNIC accreditation lets your .productions name share an account with your .pk domains and hosting, all paid through local channels. Keep reading for pricing, the purchase and registration process, and two of the most common ways studios use this extension.

Registration of .productions domain for Pakistani production houses

How production teams use a .productions domain

Production houses making television dramas, telefilms and short films can use a .productions site as the official home for each project, with trailers, cast lists and broadcast dates. Channels, festival programmers and journalists look for a clean press page with stills and contact details, and a name ending in productions tells them they have reached the right company.

Tools that come with your .productions name

Each .productions registration is set up so a studio can publish its portfolio, take enquiries and stay in control of its brand.

Showreel-ready .productions DNS

Point the name at a portfolio built on WordPress, Squarespace, Format or Vimeo's website tools, or at our own hosting. You manage every DNS record yourself, so you can connect video hosting, booking forms and analytics without waiting on support.

Crew and client email on .productions

Create addresses for producers, editors and accounts on your domain. Sending call sheets, invoices and delivery links from a branded mailbox looks far more established to agencies and brand managers than a free webmail account does.

Project subdomains under .productions

Create addresses such as campaign.yourstudio.productions or film.yourstudio.productions at no extra cost. Each subdomain can host a private review page, a press kit or a microsite for a single release, while the main brand stays on one name.

Rupee invoices for .productions

A cash slip at your nearest HBL, Alfalah or Standard Chartered branch works, as do JazzCash, Easypaisa, local cards and PayPal. Freelancers who are paid locally can keep their domain current without relying on a dollar card.

Your .productions name stays yours

We list you or your company as owner and switch the transfer lock on from day one. Only the account owner can request the transfer code, which protects the address that appears in every credit roll and every proposal you send.

Launching a showreel site on .productions

  1. 1

    Choose a credit-ready name

    Pick the name as it appears in your end credits, so viewers who search after a drama or advert can find your .productions site directly.

  2. 2

    Register the .productions name

    Search the name above and check out in our client area. The .productions extension costs Rs 3,600 a year with WinsHosting.

  3. 3

    Set up business email

    Create addresses such as bookings@ and press@ on the domain, so channels and clients reply to a professional inbox instead of a free account.

  4. 4

    Publish your reel and credits

    Upload a two-minute showreel, a list of past projects and a crew page. Keep video embedded from a streaming service to save hosting space.

  5. 5

    Add it to every credit roll

    Put the address on end credits, posters and social channel bios, so each finished project sends new enquiries back to your own site.

.productions Domain Price in Pakistan

Budget Rs 3,600 for year one: that is the .productions domain price in Pakistan on our cart for any name the registry has not tagged premium, and there is no activation charge beside it. You receive the name, an editable zone, the anti-transfer lock and a dashboard to run it all. Mail plans, site hosting and paid certificates stay optional.

Before paying, look at the renewal figure shown in the cart. Renewals follow the registry's current wholesale price and may not match the first-year amount. Identity Digital also lists some .productions names as premium, usually very short or common words such as film, media or studio, and those carry their own higher price, which can apply at every renewal.

For a working studio, the cost is modest. A single day's camera hire or one hour of colour grading usually costs more than a whole year of registration. Treat the name as part of your fixed overheads, like your editing software subscription, and pay for several years together so that it cannot lapse in the middle of a busy shoot.

If budget is tight, start with the .productions domain alone and forward it to a free portfolio on Behance, YouTube or Vimeo. When a larger contract comes in, add a hosting plan and build a proper website. The address you have already printed on your business cards stays the same throughout. Our domain price list compares other creative extensions.

Buy .productions Domain

To buy a .productions domain, enter your studio name in the search box on this page. The results show whether the name is available, whether it is premium and what it costs for one year. Pick the number of years, add hosting if you want it, then log in or open a client account and pay.

Decide who will own the name before you check out. If the studio is a partnership, register it under the company or the partner who handles the business side, and record that decision in writing. Disputes over a shared domain are common when creative partnerships split, and the registrant listed on the account is the person the registry recognises as the owner.

Once payment is confirmed the name is registered automatically in most cases. Card and wallet payments clear quickly; bank deposits are confirmed when you send the receipt to our billing team. Once it shows in your dashboard you may aim it at your hosting, set a forward to an existing showreel or add email records straight away.

If the exact name is gone, consider the way the studio is spoken about. A shorter nickname, the founder's surname or a word from your logo can make a better address than the full legal name. Avoid adding numbers or extra letters, because people will hear the name in a meeting and type it from memory later.

.productions Domain for Film and Video Production Houses

A .productions domain for film and video production houses works as a calling card for every kind of screen work. Drama producers, commercial directors, corporate video teams, documentary makers, animation studios and drone videography crews can all use the extension, and the meaning is clear to clients in Pakistan and overseas.

The website behind the name should load quickly on a phone, because agency producers and brand managers often open links during meetings or between shoots. Host your showreel on a dedicated video platform and embed it rather than uploading large files to your own hosting. Keep the homepage simple: one reel, a short description, three or four recent projects and a clear contact button.

Search engines cannot watch video, so describe each project in words. A paragraph explaining the client, the brief, the location and your role helps your work appear in searches such as TVC production house Karachi or documentary filmmaker Islamabad. Add credit lists with the names of directors and cinematographers, as people often search for them by name.

Overseas clients and co-producers check websites carefully before they send money. Add a page that lists your equipment, crew size, past international work and the cities where you can shoot. If you work with foreign broadcasters, pair your .productions name with a .com to cover visitors who type the familiar extension by habit.

Register .productions Domain Name

To register a .productions domain name, think spelling rather than paperwork. Up to 63 characters are allowed before the dot, limited to unaccented letters, digits and the hyphen, and that hyphen cannot lead or trail. Nobody checks for a PEMRA licence, a guild card or a home address in a particular country.

Pay for between one and ten years at a time. The creation date the registry logs also starts a 60-day freeze on registrar changes. After that window, you are free to transfer whenever you like using the authorisation code from your account.

A good studio address is short and sounds the same as it is spelt. Remember that the word productions is already in the extension, so do not repeat it in the name: raza.productions is better than razaproductions.productions. If your brand uses an ampersand or a special character, spell it out or remove it.

After registration, make the name part of everything you produce. Put it in the end card of your videos, on your clapperboard stickers, in your email signature and on proposals. Set auto-renew so it never expires, because a lapsed studio domain can be registered by someone else and attached to an unrelated site while your old links keep circulating.

.productions Domain for Event and Music Production

A .productions domain for event and music production stretches the extension beyond film. Concert organisers, sound and lighting companies, wedding event managers, theatre groups, podcast studios and music producers all describe their work as productions, and the extension helps clients find them for exactly that service.

Event companies in Pakistan sell mostly through photographs and recommendations. A website on your .productions name can show galleries for corporate launches, school annual days, mehndi stage designs and concerts, along with the equipment you own and the number of guests you can handle. Clients planning a large function want to know your capacity before they call.

Music producers and recording studios can use the domain for a portfolio of tracks, studio photos, an hourly rate for recording and mixing, and a booking form. Stream audio from platforms such as SoundCloud or YouTube rather than hosting large files yourself, and write a short note about each track so search engines can index it.

Theatre and stage groups can use subdomains for individual plays, each with cast lists, dates and ticket links. When the run ends, the subdomain can stay online as an archive. All of this can sit on a single registration and an affordable shared hosting plan from WinsHosting.

Get music and footage rights cleared before publishing

A showreel on your .productions site is public, so every clip, song and logo in it needs permission. Get written approval from clients for commercial work, and license background music rather than using popular tracks. Copyright complaints can take down a video or a whole hosting account, which is a poor first impression for a production company.

Frequently asked questions

Is it .production or .productions for a studio domain?

The extension that exists is .productions, with an s at the end. There is no .production extension, so any address without the s will not work. When you print the address on posters and credits, check the spelling carefully, and consider registering a common misspelling of your brand name, rather than of the extension, if your name is often mistyped.

Can YouTubers and social media creators register a .productions domain?

Yes. Creators who run their channel as a business often use the domain for a media kit, sponsorship rates, contact details and links to every platform they publish on. Brands looking for collaborations prefer a proper website and a branded email address, and a .productions name makes a solo creator look like an organised studio.

Does a .productions domain help with getting work from foreign clients?

The extension alone does not win work, but it is understood internationally, which helps when your website is shared with overseas producers. What convinces them is a fast site, a clear showreel, a list of past clients and a professional email address. Make sure your contact page lists a time zone and a WhatsApp or Signal number.

Can I host large video files on the same hosting as my .productions site?

Shared hosting is designed for websites, not for streaming large video files, and heavy video traffic can slow your pages down. Upload footage to a streaming platform or cloud storage and embed the player instead. If you need to deliver raw footage, use a file-transfer service and send clients a link from your domain email.

What happens to my .productions domain if my studio closes or rebrands?

You can keep renewing the name and forward it to your new brand, transfer it to a buyer, or let it expire. Forwarding is usually best for a year or two, because old credits and articles still link to the address. If you let it expire, anyone can register it later and use the traffic from your old links.

Can I use a .productions domain for a film's official website?

Yes. Some studios register a separate name for a big release, while others use a subdomain such as filmname.studio.productions. A separate name is easier to promote on posters, while a subdomain costs nothing and keeps the film tied to your studio brand. Our .media domain page covers another option.

How do I protect my .productions domain from being stolen?

Keep the registrar lock switched on, use a strong unique password for your client account and protect the email inbox linked to it, because that is where transfer codes and reset links go. Do not share account logins with freelancers; give them DNS access only through a separate arrangement and change passwords when they leave.

Can I move a .productions domain I bought abroad to WinsHosting?

Yes. Once two months have passed since registration, have the overseas registrar lift its lock and email you the EPP code, then use our domain transfer page. The move usually extends the term by a year, and future renewals are billed in rupees instead of dollars.
