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.

Standard transfer fee is $20.17 at GoDaddy...
So use $2.17 with 1and1 and ~$9 at CrazyDomains...

You can get more clever support from 1and1 via transfers AT 1and1.com (Domain Admin Team).

Regarding Bulk features - they are already in their roadmap but ETA is still unknown...
