For installers, dealers and EPC firms

.Solar Domain Registration

Pakistan's rooftops have turned to solar faster than almost anyone predicted, and customers now compare installers online before they ring anyone. A .solar address names your trade in the URL itself. WinsHosting registers it in rupees, sets up the DNS and reminds you before renewal, all from our office in Johar Town, Lahore.

Why the .solar extension suits Pakistan's rooftop energy boom

.solar is a generic top-level domain released by Donuts, the registry group that now trades as Identity Digital, during the wave of sector names ICANN approved after 2012. It has no country attached and no membership test, so a panel importer on Hall Road, a net-metering consultant in Multan and an agricultural pump specialist in Sahiwal can all hold one on the same terms.

The timing matters. Load-shedding, rising grid tariffs and falling panel prices have pushed homeowners, factories, schools and farms towards solar, and the trade has grown with them. Thousands of small installers now compete for the same jobs, and most buyers start by searching on their phone for phrases such as "solar installer near me" or "10kW system price". A web address that literally says solar tells that buyer they have found a specialist rather than a general electrical shop.

Good names are also still available. Short words like sunpower, greenenergy or a city plus "solar" vanished from .com years ago, yet many of them remain open in .solar. Because the extension already carries the keyword, you can drop it from the left of the dot: faisalabad.solar or khanenergy.solar reads more neatly than khansolarenergysystems.com, and fits easily on a van, a rooftop banner or a WhatsApp business profile.

Our Lahore desk has been booking web addresses for local traders since 2003, and because we also hold PKNIC accreditation we can place your .solar alongside a matching .com.pk in one order. You pay in rupees through a bank deposit, card or mobile wallet, manage everything from one client area, and speak to a support team in Lahore that understands how local trade works. If you just want to secure the name now and build the site after the summer rush, that is perfectly fine.

Launching a .solar Website for an Installation Business

A practical order of work for panel installers and net-metering consultants putting a new .solar address to use.

  1. 1

    Pick a name customers can spell

    Combine your trading name with a city or service, such as a Lahore or Multan reference, and avoid hyphens that get lost when the name is read out over the phone.

  2. 2

    Register under the company

    Put the firm or the owner as registrant so the .solar stays with the business if an installer, marketer or web developer later leaves the team.

  3. 3

    Add hosting and a quote form

    Connect the name to shared hosting and publish a simple form asking for monthly units, roof type and city, so you can size systems before visiting.

  4. 4

    Show finished projects

    Upload photos of completed rooftop, tube-well and commercial systems with the kW size and town, because buyers compare real installations more than brochures.

  5. 5

    Explain net metering honestly

    Write a plain page on how the application with the local distribution company works, how long it usually takes and what paperwork the customer must provide.

  6. 6

    Print the address everywhere

    Put the .solar on vans, invoices, warranty cards and WhatsApp Business so every satisfied customer can pass on one short, memorable address.

What a .solar web address does for an energy business

The points below are the ones solar traders ask us about most often when they compare extensions.

The trade is in the .solar URL

A visitor reading <em>yourname.solar</em> knows straight away that you sell, install or service solar systems. That clarity helps on billboards, vehicle wraps and quotation letterheads, where people only glance at a web address for a second before moving on.

Anyone may hold a .solar

Identity Digital sets no eligibility test for .solar: no AEDB registration, no trade association letter and no Pakistani address requirement. A sole trader with a single van can register on the same day as a large EPC contractor, and the name can later move to a company if your business structure changes.

.solar works for export suppliers

Because .solar is a global extension, it suits Pakistani firms that import panels from China or supply mounting structures to buyers in the Gulf. Overseas partners see a sector-specific name instead of a country code they may not recognise.

Full DNS for your .solar

Aim the name at our servers, at a Shopify-style builder or at a monitoring portal. You can add MX records for email, TXT records for Google verification and subdomains such as <em>quote.yourname.solar</em> from the client area without waiting for anyone.

Pay for .solar locally

The yearly fee can go through a bank branch deposit, internet banking transfer, JazzCash, Easypaisa, a Visa or Mastercard debit card, or PayPal. Invoices are issued in PKR, which keeps your accounts simple and avoids surprise conversion charges from foreign registrars.

.solar Domain Price in Pakistan

Our .solar domain price in Pakistan is Rs 3,500 per year, billed in rupees and listed in the price card above. Renewal follows the same yearly pattern, and the order form lets you lock in anything between a single year and a decade. Many installers pick two or three years so their web address stays fixed for the length of a typical equipment warranty they advertise.

We add nothing for setup, and DNS editing, forwarding and a control panel login are included with each .solar name. Identity Digital reserves certain short or dictionary words, for instance single words for panel types, as premium .solar names priced by the registry itself. Should a search quote you several times the normal rate, a premium tier explains it, and our sales team can tell you whether the premium also applies every year at renewal.

Compared with paying a foreign registrar in dollars, a local invoice avoids card conversion fees and keeps your bookkeeping in one currency. If you plan a full website, add one of our shared hosting plans in the same order; the domain, hosting and business email then renew together on one date. Registry wholesale changes occasionally shift our rates, so treat the amount quoted on the final checkout screen as the binding price for your .solar order.

Buy .solar Domain

To buy a .solar domain, enter your preferred brand word in the domain checker at the top of this page. When it comes back available, add it to the basket, choose the number of years and continue to checkout. Existing WinsHosting clients log in first so the domain lands in the same account as their other services; new clients create an account during checkout in about two minutes.

You will be asked for the registrant's name, address, phone number and email, plus a company name if a business will own the .solar name. Use details that are accurate and that you check regularly. ICANN rules require a verification email to the registrant address, and a domain left unverified for too long can be suspended until someone clicks the confirmation link.

You can pay with a card, PayPal, a mobile wallet or a deposit at your nearest HBL, Alfalah or Standard Chartered branch. Card and wallet orders usually activate the domain within minutes. For a bank deposit, upload the slip or send it to sales@winshosting.com and we will match it as soon as it is received during office hours.

Once you buy the .solar domain online it shows up under My Domains in the client area. From there, swap nameservers, edit zone records or turn on forwarding to your current Facebook page or marketplace store while your full site is being built.

.solar Domain for Solar Companies

A .solar domain for solar companies works because the extension matches the exact service the customer is searching for. Pakistani buyers are no longer comparing only panel brands; they want to know who will design the system, handle net-metering paperwork with the distribution company, and come back when an inverter shows an error. Your website is where you answer those questions, and the address is the first thing they read.

Installers can use the main .solar site for package prices, before-and-after rooftop photos and customer reviews, then add subdomains for separate services such as tubewell.yourname.solar for agricultural pumps or commercial.yourname.solar for factory projects. Distributors of panels, lithium batteries and hybrid inverters can publish stock lists and dealer locations. Consultants who prepare load calculations or feasibility studies for banks can show sample reports and credentials.

Search engines judge pages on their content, speed and usefulness, not on the extension alone, so a .solar name will not lift a weak site to the top by itself. What it does help with is recognition and click-through: a searcher scanning results for solar companies in Lahore or Karachi is more likely to choose a link whose address mirrors their query. Pair the name with fast hosting, HTTPS and clear local contact details, and you give both people and search engines a strong signal.

Register .solar Domain Name

Before you register a .solar domain name, spend a few minutes on the wording. The best names are short, easy to spell when said aloud, and free of awkward hyphens. Remember that the extension already says solar, so avoid repeating it on the left: ahmedenergy.solar is cleaner than ahmedsolarenergy.solar. Letters, digits and hyphens are allowed, and the part before .solar can run to 63 characters, though anything over fifteen becomes hard to type on a phone.

Think about how customers will actually find you. A city or region name works well for installers who serve one area, for example multan.solar style combinations with your brand. Product-led names suit importers and distributors, while a founder's surname builds trust for small family firms where the owner personally visits each rooftop.

Check that the matching social handles are free too, so your Facebook page, Instagram account and website share one identity. If the name is also a brand you plan to protect, consider registering the same word in .pk or .com.pk and pointing it at the .solar site so nobody else can trade on it locally.

When you are ready, register the .solar domain name through our cart. Ownership is recorded in your name or your company's name, not ours, and you can obtain the transfer authorisation code at any time if you later decide to move registrars.

Cheap .solar Domain with Hosting

Looking for a cheap .solar domain is sensible, but the real saving comes from what you avoid paying later. Some registrars advertise a low first-year promotion and then charge far more at renewal, or bill DNS, privacy and forwarding as extras. At WinsHosting the .solar price card shows the standard rate up front, the useful tools are included, and you can renew for several years in advance to fix your cost.

Bundling also keeps costs down. A small installer rarely needs more than a few pages, a quote form and a gallery, which fit comfortably on an entry-level shared hosting package. Adding that plan to your .solar order puts the domain, website and professional email such as sales@yourname.solar on one invoice, one renewal date and one support desk, rather than spreading them across three foreign providers.

Already running a site with another host? Leave it where it is. Register the .solar name with us and point it to your existing server by changing the DNS records, or use forwarding so the new address sends visitors to your current site. That gives you a memorable sector name for advertising at the price of the domain alone.

For help choosing a package, call +92-336-447-5528 or open a ticket, and our Lahore staff will suggest the most economical setup for your .solar website.

A .solar Domain Does Not Certify Equipment or Installers

The registry sells .solar to anyone, so the ending says nothing about panel quality, inverter warranties or whether an installer is licensed or approved by a distribution company. State your real credentials, brands and warranty terms on the site, and never claim approvals you do not hold. Buyers who check carefully will reward honest detail.

Domain order refunds, where they apply, are handled as set out in our terms.

Frequently asked questions

Can a solar panel trader without a registered company buy a .solar domain?

Yes. The .solar registry does not ask for a company registration number, NTN or trade licence. You can register in your own name as a sole proprietor and later update the registrant organisation once you incorporate with the SECP. Keep the email address on the record under your control, because that inbox receives renewal reminders and any ownership change confirmations.

Does a .solar website rank lower on Google than a .com?

Google's search team has stated more than once that it ranks newer gTLDs exactly like older endings. A .solar site is not penalised and does not receive a bonus either. What matters is useful local content, page speed on mobile data, correct business details in your Google Business Profile, and links from relevant directories or suppliers. The extension helps mainly with recognition when people scan results.

Can I use a .solar domain for a solar monitoring app or customer portal?

You can. Create a subdomain such as app or portal under your .solar name and point it to the server or cloud service that hosts your monitoring dashboard. Many inverter makers provide their own portals, but a branded address on your domain looks more professional when you send login links to customers and keeps them associated with your company rather than the hardware supplier.

Is .solar suitable for solar water heaters and solar geysers?

Certainly. The extension is not limited to photovoltaic panels. Sellers of solar geysers, solar street lights, solar-powered pumps, chargers and even solar cookers can all use it. Anyone connected with energy from the sun fits naturally, so dealers who started with water heaters and now add PV systems can keep one name as their range grows.

What happens if my .solar domain expires during the busy season?

After the expiry date the domain stops resolving, so your website and email go offline. A short grace window normally follows in which the normal fee still restores it; after that comes redemption, when Identity Digital adds a costly recovery charge. Switching on automatic renewal or prepaying several years prevents this, especially before summer when enquiries peak.

Can I register several .solar domains for different cities?

One client account can hold as many .solar names as you need. Some installers register a main brand name plus city-specific names for advertising campaigns, then point the extra domains at landing pages on the main site. Keep the content on each page genuinely different, with local project photos and contact numbers, otherwise search engines may treat them as duplicates.

Will my .solar email work with Gmail or Outlook apps?

Yes. Mailboxes created on our hosting under your .solar domain can be added to the Gmail app, Outlook or the iPhone Mail app with ordinary IMAP and SMTP details from our setup guides at kb.winshosting.com. Firms already paying for Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 can instead aim the .solar MX entries at that service if your company already pays for one of those services.

Can a .solar domain owner hide personal details from WHOIS?

Since the GDPR changes of 2018, public lookups for a .solar name normally show the registrant's country and organisation at most, with names, phone numbers and street addresses redacted. The registrar still holds the full record and must keep it accurate. If you want your business phone and address to be visible to customers, publish them on your website and Google profile instead.
