The .PRO Discussion

InvisionTech · Sep 17, 2008

It seems .PRO is slowly coming out of the cage with cheaper reg prices than they were a year ago and major registrars like netsol taking notice of the extension and promoting it.

Here are some that I picked up in last couple of days:

Alexandria.pro

Anchorage.pro

Arlington.pro

Belfast.pro

Birmingham.pro

Budapest.pro

Durham.pro

Fairfax.pro

Italian.pro

Lisbon.pro

Fire away with your regs after the relaunch on September 8th, 2008.

@Jurgen Wolf Do you know if there's any specific reason why .PROs are popular in Russia (or this is my understanding based on what you've been saying)? Or is it just a coincidence...

Jurgen Wolf · Mar 31, 2018

Because it is really supported/promoted by Russian registrars... since 2012 or so...

Jurgen Wolf · Mar 31, 2018

My 1Q 2018 .PRO results:
1-2 inquiries weekly...
2 sales (~$850 per domain in average).

Fees will be increased by Afilias on September'1...
So renew/transfer as much as possible before this date...

2nd reason is that the same .RU domains are trading on aftermarket in 4/5-figure range and some of them even up to 6 figures...
So not all endusers can afford them...

There are good number of .PRO sites which are developed.
This one is related to real estate brokerage tool - Simple site but importantly developed.

Jurgen Wolf · Apr 13, 2018

And all domainers cumulatively own no more than 20K, per my WHOIS research.

Jurgen Wolf · Apr 19, 2018

Today I have sold some financial English term (plural) for $1K... already paid to Payoneer Escrow.
My very special offer for this buyer from Qazaqstan.

Sold an English word pro to a Russian, reseller I assume. Would Russian end users use English in their domains?

Yes, they are using both Russian and English...

Jurgen Wolf · Apr 23, 2018

If buyers are from Moscow - then their .PRO offers can be up to $5K, this is my own stats.

Just rechecked DNPric.es
ALL my sales via Sedo (regardless of their Escrow or Marketplace) in 2017/2018 are absent for unknown reason.
And not only .PRO, but other TLDs as well.
