The .PRO Discussion

[InvisionTech]

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.

i like that domain

cloudhousting.pro is an awesome one. encirca also makes you aware of expiring domains months in advance. something like 90 days...which is crazy..maybe they all do it.

What do you guys think of the domain: supersite.pro ?

What do you guys think of the domain: supersite.pro ?

I don't think it fits the '.pro' extension too well, and it's not a strong keyword, AFAIK.

guitar.pro, car.pro, aeronautics.pro, speech.pro... strong keywords and .PRO makes sense
there. Everyone could relate to it. Even housekeeper.pro would be better.

But what is a 'supersite' professional? It sounds gaudy, and I'm sure it won't get many monthly search keyword hits.

Since it doesn't make a lot of natural sense, and isn't a strong keyword, why bother?

I was just brainstorming wordplays with domains and extensions.

Sort of like what is going on with the .co ccTLD being marketed for "company," "corporation," or "community." When really, it's just Columbia.

I had "Supersite Productions" in mind for this specifically, but either way, it was just a thought.

I would not want it even if you gave it to me renewed for 10 years. :imho:

 

[webdevsys]

Ah, okay. Apparently, it's a good thing I never registered it. lol

How to register .pro ?

Hi, I want to register a .pro and I don`t know what I need to do that.

Please give me a site where to register and how to purchase one.

Thank you!

Have a look at the Reg Fee Check and Restrictions pages on Total.pro. It will tell you all you need to know.

HUH? Why?

 

[webdomain]

I keep searching for new .pro websites that stand out. Found this one today. GreenJobs.pro and thought it was very professional. I've been keeping track of attractive sites as well as listing some of my own on http://www.facts.pro. I try and post the more advanced sites that I find in a small effort to help promote the extension.

My current web development projects:
shoppingcart.pro | ecigarettes.pro | filmmaker.pro | conferencecall.pro

Nice looking greenjobs.pro, i should use my resume.pro

Any of you has observed any change in how well google serp rank .pros ?
Me and a few friends of mine have .pro which get recent rank increase, and were willing to know if this is global or not.
Seo is to me, the bad point with .pro

Here is a heads up: I am planning on auctioning off one of the biggest .pro name's within the next 2 month. I am in the middle of the preparations and will make an official announcement probably by next week.

I think this upcoming auction will be a good stress test on the viability of the dot-pro extension.

[AndyR]

I am thinking of selling my single word .pro domains due to lack of time to develop. The names are Soil, Pile, Plant, Listing, Insulation and Chartered.

Any choice items there? Value?

Thanks, andy

Personally I have never heard about this domain name extension and started thinking to register several domains as suppose it can bring me much profit and good money.

 

[hakita]

With STARCRAFT 2 PRO - BETA REPORTS - LIVE STREAM - COMMUNITY beeing very popular, many geek will visit their first .pro ever. This is good for .pro

Just in case you missed it, if you search "wireless doorbell" on Yahoo you'll find Doorbell.Pro in the five spot. That's me in the three spot. I'm so embarrassed.

wireless doorbell

yeah, there are a hell of alot of doorbell .pro sites. Whatever it takes..to the guy investing in .pros make sure to see the drop lists at encirca.com or snapnames. I've noticed some good ones that I've passed on., as my plate is pretty full.

Just picked up crush.pro and ecard.pro to go along with the greetingcards site I own.

I'd love to see this domain extension get some greater momentum and not just because I've spent alot of my professional time developing and investing in 'em. In my purely biased oppinion I think there is big potential for the .pros to be taken seriously in time.
