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.

The only one offer for me during this summer, the worst summer ever...
And it wasn't from enduser, but from US domainer on Sedo (he offered $300).

And another old US domainer today on PUMA (2011) with $500 bid - I just started this auction on Sedo, if somebody else...

Jurgen Wolf · Aug 23, 2021

And was traditional DAN silence on both those domains...
I moved them to Sedo just recently.

If somebody from IT.

Paid.

p.s. In the past this domainer purchased CLOUD for $7K.

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 2, 2021

So for 8 months I did 3 .PRO sales:
2 to another domainers for $100/$500 & enduser sale for 2021 EUR BIN.

zuriko · Sep 2, 2021

some .pro domains that I sold and there are now big online projects:
https://link.pro/
www.Booking.pro
https://www.light.pro/

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 3, 2021

@zuriko
Only LINK works from this list...
Booking - defensive purchase.
Light - abandoned.

p.s. Update your signature...

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 9, 2021

I have set the symbolic $2028 Sedo BIN on my LosAngeles (2012).
If anybody...

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 11, 2021

When you check just keywords - by default @Dynadot shows many unwanted TLDs like .SBS, but completely ignoring .PRO for years (where stable enduser demand and traffic).

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 12, 2021

I see many domains on Efty...
How are your results there, does it convert?

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 16, 2021

Update the expired nameservers for PLUG and other similar domains transferred from PDR/ResellerClub.

I just checked the same .ONE - it is available for ~$550-600/yearly.

~0.00 support from GoDaddy as well...
& no banners, no GoDaddy Auctions listings, no even expired auctions (they just drop).

@Joe Styler

Jurgen Wolf · Oct 1, 2021

Just rechecked GoDaddy searchbox...
As of today they show available .PROs when looking for keywords, at least for my location...
The only one change from the mentioned above.

Jurgen Wolf · Oct 6, 2021

And only among available TLDs.
If .PRO is taken and listed via Afternic - they don't show/offer it.

Pheenix domains still exist, I still meet their .PRO domains with frozen Expiration dates like 2018...
Why they are alive and were not dropped/removed by Afilias - I don't understand...

Pheenix was terminated recently by ICANN.
And looks that their domains were moved to EnCirca and some of them dropped.

Jurgen Wolf · Oct 7, 2021

Jurgen Wolf said:
Like Pheenix, tons of former ELB domains still exist as well...

At least part of them was dropped recently, after a few years of abnormal renewals...

Very probably, .xyz is penalized as well.
