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.

No alternatives for $2.17 at 1and1.

The lowest transfer is with internetbs.net ($9.99).
Or individual price at Epik.

Internetbs increased their fee to $13.49

Alpnames offers $10.69

 

[DD.pro]

crazydomains - $8,50

 

[MasterGuru]

crazydomains - $8,50

$8.95

 

[MasterGuru]

Guys, in my opinion we all in one boat or in the same shoes, looks like we have more than 5000 domains cumulatively - that means it will be good idea to do search and negotiations with registrar(s) that will able provide a good renewal/transfer price for us.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Afilias standard rate (Transfer/Renewal) for registrars is ~$9 or even ~$10.
That's why 99% of registrars provide $10 or higher...

 

[DNGear]

How come 1and1 is charging 2.17 then?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

It is their own marketing... they have a budget to do that...

 

[DNGear]

Wrap

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Regarding @Dynadot - I asked them a few times and they don't plan to lower their abnormal fees...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Since May'2016 - I transfer my .PROs to 1and1...
Then I plan to use Epik and, probably, CrazyDomains...
