Why this is attractive
• A very low upfront cost makes it easy to experiment, launch side projects or early-stage websites without much capital. For example, the registrar IONOS offers domains “from just $1” for the first year. 
• It lowers the barrier to entry for businesses/individuals, especially in cost-sensitive markets.
• Often part of promotional campaigns, so you can get a decent TLD (top-level domain) at a big discount.
What you must check before buying
• Renewal price: Many $1 deals are only for the first year, and renewal will be much higher. One Redditor wrote about a $1 domain, but then renewal jumped to ~$50. 
• TLD and restrictions: The bargain may apply only to less-common extensions (.xyz, .top, .icu) rather than .com or .org.
• Hidden fees / set-up costs: Some registrars may tack on extra fees (ICANN fees, WHOIS privacy, domain locking) after promotion.
• Support, management tools, WHOIS privacy: A cheap domain is fine—but you still want decent DNS control, privacy (if needed), and support.
• Validity of offer in your region: Since you’re “in Pakistan / via Cyberian.pk”, check payment methods (local gateway, currency) and whether the registrar supports your region easily.
• Ownership and transfer rights: Make sure you own the domain fully (not locked or leased) and can transfer if needed.

Top current offers & good registrars
Here are some strong offers and registrars. These are mostly international, but many work globally (including Pakistan) as long as payment and region compatibility are fine. If you want purely Pakistan-registrars, I can dig up local deals too.
• Namecheap: They run promos like “99 ¢ domain names” for selected TLDs. 
• NameSilo (via partner sites): For example, you can get domains from $0.99/year for some TLDs such as .xyz. 
• IONOS: Their page advertises “$1 domain names – first year” for popular TLDs. 
• HostWeber: Cheap domains starting at $1.99/year for specific extensions. 
• Local Pakistan-accessible: For example, the site HostCry lists Pakistani-rupee pricing and local domain extensions.
