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.

25 offers x 10 k per domain is 250k in a year and are crazy numbers and very good ROI!

26 offers (NOT sales) this year (as of today)...
~80% of them were 3-figure... but I very rarely sell in this range...
~20% were 4-figure, incl. $10K-offer, which was accepted by me after some negotiations but the buyer disappeared...

Regarding sales this year...
1 sale to enduser for $1K...
1 bulk sale (3 domains) to investor for 400 EUR...

API or backorder?

 

[DNGear]

backorder.

 

[MasterGuru]

backorder.

and what service did you use for backorder?

 

[DNGear]

pheenix west dynaAPI

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

My ELB-orders are locked in processing since yesterday's evening...
And today also...
Do you have the same issue?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I guess, it is or LogicBoxes-issue, or ELB-overlimit with Afilias...

 

[PowerDN]

What do you think on: online/payment .pro?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

2-words .PROs are selling very very rarely...
+ at least opayment and webpayment are available for endusers...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Also still available a lot of good 4L.PRO

 

[John0]

IoTsoftware/Pro got this a couple months ago, and feel now is the time to start selling,
Would the IOT attacks push up price if they happen again maybe?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

IOTS - available as well... )
