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.

If any billing errors with 1and1.com - email to billing@ or solutions@
Sometimes this happens... but in ~99% of cases Autorenew switcher works as expected (at least for me).

They going double crazy - writing to them from my admin e-mail and getting answer from them that I'm writing not from my admin e-mail... Very crazy registrar

You must write from your account email and also mention your Customer ID.

I wrote from my account e-mail and getting a bullshit answers from them...

Jurgen Wolf · Oct 7, 2018

I can't comment that...
Never had such replies when emailing from my account email.
And all billing mistakes were solved/credited.

Jurgen Wolf · Oct 7, 2018

Alternatively, 1and1 offers Callback...

MasterGuru · Oct 7, 2018

Conclusion: avoid 1and1.com

Jurgen Wolf · Oct 7, 2018

This is your very own conclusion.

Jurgen Wolf · Oct 7, 2018

p.s. My experience with 1and1 is ~9 years and 6K+ domains were registered/transferred...

Help needed, Encirca.com renewal does not work! On the renewal page there is a extention .coop and on the .pro it gives an error: That TLD extension is not valid. Can someone English-speaking call to the support PHONE SUPPORTCALL +1-855-590-4677 and report the problem? Thank you.

Encirca is broken on many fronts. I was not able to renew domains in bulk until I contacted support and they generated a link for me... wtf? I will be taking domains out of encirca.

Jurgen Wolf · Oct 13, 2018

I forgot about EnCirca many years ago.

mwzd · Oct 17, 2018

Encirca has worked fine for me, their UI is glitchy but once you know how to use it, it wasn't too bad.

However now they have increased renewals from $15 to $16.49 when all other registrars seem to be dropping renewal rates for .pro

Will probably have to move out the domains from there now.

Jurgen Wolf · Oct 17, 2018

$1 increase was on September'1 by Afilias for all registrars...
But EnCirca's prices are traditionally uncompetitive.

My current 2018 .PRO results:
6 sales (highest: $1.5K, average: ~$860).
2 of 6 - Non-English.
3 of 6 - 4L domains.
Buyers from: Russia (2, both Non-Moscow), Ukraine, Qazaqstan, Israel and US.

+ sold a few domains to another domainer... ~$200 each.

Jurgen Wolf · Nov 11, 2018

1 of 6 - plural.

Jurgen Wolf · Nov 22, 2018

Like 2017, this year I also don't see my Sedo escrow sales in various reports like DNJournal...
So looks that Sedo shares only their marketplace sales.

2.3K netgain during BF = 288.5K+

Qutest · Nov 24, 2018

I've had this for a few months

Blockchainers.pro

I guess, this is due to $3.17 at GoDaddy...

p.s. $2.06 at Namecheap is the lowest.

Jurgen Wolf · Dec 1, 2018

~7K netgain in November = ~290K
