After analyzing Google Page Rank and Alexa Rank of .PK websites, now its time to see what technologies Pakistanis are using to power their websites.

As you can see Apache has the major share of almost 68%. IIS (5,6 and 7) has 28.1% share. Then nginx is just 3.1%

Now the interesting part of the analysis:

• ASP.NET is the most famous technology among .PK websites. 6004 .PK websites were detected using ASP.NET.
• 5866 are using PHP.
• 381 were on J2EE.
• 45 .PK sites were developed on Ruby on Rails. (don’t be amazed, most of them .PK version of international domains. Only a few Pakistani .PK websites are pdmkhi.pk, ncbae.edu.pk, amazingdeals.pk)
• 23 .PK websites use Adobe ColdFusion
• 17 were built using CodeIgniter (e.g. greenvalley.pk, visitpakistan.com.pk, taanabaana.com.pk, ustaad.com.pk, laysflavourcup.pk, tossdown.pk)
• 8 were build using CakePHP(e.g. businesslist.pk, mcdonalds.com.pk)

I am working on detecting Open Source Softwares being used by these websites. I will share the results in my next post.

There are around 36k .pk domains. Almost half of these are .com.pk domains and about 33% are .pk domains. Here is the graph:

There are 2103 .ORG.PK, 1966 .EDU.PK, 1163 .NET.PK domains.

Government of Pakistan has 766, Govt. of Punjab has 121, Govt. of Sindh has 68, Govt. of Kashmir has 14, Govt. of Baluchistan has 8 and Govt. of KPK has 5 domains registered.

There are some domains like .BIZ.PK=196, .WEB.PK=121 and .FAM.PK=12

PKNIC started registering its first domains with brain.com.pk in 1996. Since then domain registration has increased each year.
