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.

Another .pro added to the stable:

MedicalDevices

So, what are the real .pro registration stats?

No additions or drops in 3-4 days?

Zero registrations? Zero drops?

Looks like they're missing zone file data from the registry.
Anybody know of an alternate data source?
It's definitely an exciting time of growth with mainstream registrars (GD, NameCheap, Name.com) carrying the extension at reasonable prices.

I have never seen a site using this extension. Never even heard one.

Well, then, you must be new to domain names and the history of TLDs. Sure sounds like it.

That's a nice one.

No. Not the greatest fan of this extension. Do you have a site on it?

If you have never heard of the .pro TLD being used on websites, and you are not a fan of the .pro TLD, why do you bother to post on the .pro discussion thread?

 

[bytedo]

What do you mean? I havent heard of a site using one I said.

I'm surprised that this extension isn't looked at more closely. Just registered ATVS!

BTW - ATV is reserved, makes me feel even better... :D

All L/LL/LLL.PRO are not available in General-mode.
Some of them were sold by Registry in the past.

Accordingly .PRO-websites...
Launch Google-command: site:.pro

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

[Jurgen Wolf]

+ 2 .PROs I also own for my family... we are using them since 2010...

With ZERO-advertising...

[Jurgen Wolf]

Zero drops?

Drops are stable... ~100 daily...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

My current stats from the beginning of 2016:
3 bidders on 3 .PROs
(2 from Ukraine, 1 - Russia)

 

[Jackie]

Any public site where you can get pending delete lists for .PRO?
I know you used to be able to access them through enCirca, but they now require you to apply for access.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

EnCirca's list was for EnCirca's domains only.

Got flare.pro and mobs.pro
Any thoughts on them?

Did you see any GoDaddy's .PRO in WHOIS?
I didn't.

 

[Fancy.domains]

Added a .pro to my portfolio:

Pine.pro

 

[mwzd]

Picked up Cognac.pro today, rums.pro is available in case someone wants it!

What is more frustrating and dumber than Godaddy not selling .pro is not receiving notifications about new replies to thread from namepros.com.

I visit the forum daily, I should not need to visit the thread to be able to receive "new" replies. It is bad enough that notifications do not contain the message (new replies or PMs).

 

[Rick Ace]

Have you made sure that you have "watched" this thread?

 

[InvisionTech]

Yep, I created the thread.
