The .PRO Discussion

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.

 

Nice GEO names!

I just grabbed Alarms.pro, too bad I spent most of my .pro budget earlier this year.

 

Thanks. I think, after those ultra premiums, GEO domains fit .PRO nicely for their flexibility as far as content choices are concerned.

I registered these last year

AbuDhabi.pro
Alpharetta.pro
Anaheim.pro
Arabic.pro
Buckhead.pro
Burbank.pro
Copenhagen.pro
Country.Pro
Destination.pro
Dublin.pro
Florence.pro
Geneva.pro
Greenwich.pro
Island.pro
Madison.pro
Mesa.pro
Panama.pro
Town.pro
visit.pro

 

nice geos ... i can see these doing well.

i picked up a few, i'm bullish on .pro's future (like a year or 2 from now) and i'm going to spend some time and money developing one - when i get some time and money

i've picked up...

bulk,pro
footwear,pro
officespace,pro
literature,pro
transportation,pro
telecommunications,pro and a couple others

working off a list i had from a couple months back, they are dropping like flies, i'm curious where the registration numbers are now.

 

I think most Namepros members either have no pro credentials or are not associated to or have their own business. Not a bad idea to get incorporated.

Even without regging .pro's when you incorporate you protect yourself from legal action and such. Not a bad investment.

It varies from state to state, but you can get it done for less than $300.

 

If I incorporate does that give me the credentials I need?
Seriously, what's the easiest way to pass the sniff test?

 

If you incorporate you give yourself a business. A lawyer should probably chime in here, but that should be all it takes. If your licenced for business I don't know what else they would need.

 

Here are the ones I have

Marriage.pro
Scottsdale.pro
MyrtleBeach.pro
VirginiaBeach.pro
WashingtonDC.pro
Daycare.pro
Childcare.pro (live site)
Yellowpage.pro

 

Tahiti.pro
Oahu.pro (Established website)

I think there is already a same thread. So this is duplicated.

 

Nice list!
WashingtonDC.pro was on my to do list! Good pick.

Great job with Oahu.pro, looks nice.

I think the other thread is locked.

 

I regged Hedge.pro today. Shorting has just been banned on the London Stock Exchange but I couldn't resist the lure of a $19.99 .pro.

 

I was searching and found that quite a few good names were still available with dot pro. I can see a variety of domains in your signature. Are you licensed to do all these kinds of businesses? Would you explain it to me in the light of the UK law? Although I'm a passionate supporter of dot me but I do not mind to have a couple of .pros just to diversify my investment.

 

Have a read of the last few months of .pro press releases. This question crops up alot on NamePros.

 

A lot of names which were available pre the relaunch are no longer available. I had a list of 200-300 names from December 2007/January 2008 which is 70% gone!

So, I picked up a few more: :p


Locator.pro
Kazakhstan.pro (Hopefully soon these guys will figure out how to get that oil/gas from under the ground lol)
Workout.pro
SantaClara.pro
Pasadena.pro
FinancialAid.pro
Bristol.pro
KualaLumpur.pro

 

Workout.pro is nice, I regged Aerobics.pro a couple of weeks ago. I like Locator.pro for online GPS location for pets, cars, bikes, children, people etc. Not sure about FinancialAid.pro.

 

Thanks.

I've had FinancialAid.pro in my list for long time... since I work in the education sector (public private) I come across a lot of "professional companies" offering "professional" financial aid services. So I thought maybe that name would be useful someday!

 

and the .com just sold for $800K - very nice!

 

Excellent, good timing! Thanks!

 

Geez I must be out of touch I didn't even know there were .pro's out LOL

 

Well, you learn something new everyday! :wave:

Wish I'd gotten into the .pro craze earlier. Most of the best ones are gone. I did manage to grab these over the past few days:

Ceiling.pro
Duct.pro
Finish.pro
Josh.pro

 

about 471,000 for site:pro (Google search)

I decided to dip my toe with an £11.90 reg at Hostway. It seems that a few pro sites are now developed.

Pile,pro

I am a civil engineer mostly involved with foundation design, piling etc. I have thoughts about developing this as a professional website for the Industry with webmail, advertisements, news, articles and jobs.

I have had the usual registry pro enquiry and seem to have been accepted.
