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.

Nice enduser: stockings.pro

It's encouraging and fascinating to see the .pro TLD now sitting at #20 out of 500 TLDs at http://www.registrarstats.com/TLDDomainCounts.aspx

If I did my math correctly, the .pro TLD needs to average only ~196 net daily registrations for ~130 days to reach 200,000 registrations by July 1, 2016.

It will be fun watching what happens this year.

Reseller market seems soft though...

No serious offers yet on a single word brand that would be worth many millions of dollars in .com

Or maybe it's just the venue?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

At least 500K are needed for reseller market...
At now ~182K...

Moniker has started selling .PRO for $3.99...

I just added back a few of my drops. Hard not to buy into this kind of a spike.
I'm real curious to know what is driving this.

 

[webdomain]

I'm wondering if we are seeing foreign sales. Does anyone know where to find actual .pro's being added. Encirca used to have a great list but has since closed access to it.

 

[sandyhere]

I screened almost 5k domains yest. There has been massive raid.

 

[InvisionTech]

I wish some buyers knew how to contact the domain owner outside of the domain sales websites... .pro sale fees are horrendous.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I don't use any marketplaces...
Just Bodis and ParkingCrew sale-forms...
Then external Sedo-escrow (3% or min. $60)... sometimes escrow.com...

Thanks. I will look into that... don't like being robbed of $2000 for nothing on potential .pro sale.

As already said above...
You may request zonefile to see them all: registrypro.pro/pro/zone_file_access
