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.

Since May'2016 Pheenix is regularly used to catch .PROs...
Some domains were finished up to ~$1K (like PLAYER.PRO)...
I personally - won a few auctions there within $100...

They are also pretty good with 4L .coms.... but they all end up going to auction it seems.

So picked up a few more .Pro... $1.88 on NameCheap.... cheap insurance.


the Bags sites i will turn into affiliate sites I think... maybe sell travel bags.
Galt is a town in CA, Yates a moderately common last name. Gimbal will be an affiliate site or review site.

Vnuk I am debating, likely sell, it is aged, a Russian word meaning grandson.
Mapas is spanish for Maps. (reaching outside my core, but it is Spanish and a common one word).

Lvov was available today but someone snapped it up. City in Ukraine.

What time do .Pro get deleted?

 

[maksimfa]

and all thanks to @Jurgen Wolf for getting me back on the .pro bandwagon. lol.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Lvov is a common Last Name...

Lviv - Native name for my city... NOT Lvov (only Russians spell it in such manner).

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Open WHOIS and you will see...

Hey now... I am a Russian speaking Ukranian. =P We always spelled it Lvov. =P

By what time I mean what time of the day. Does Whois report that?

wow. It does. So it is not like .com when they are all at like 2PM eastern.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Who are "we"???
Ukrainians never call it Lvov.
Russians or USSR-fans only.

Please don't continue this offtopic, thanks.

You are right. The city is now Lviv.

To the soviet Diaspora it is Lvov as pronounced... including the many Ukranians here in the states. Done on this topic. =)

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

It was and is Lviv since ~1240...

Every TLD has its own time...

Correct. What I'm saying is there a specific time for All .Pro or it seems like they expire individually?

A bunch of Spanish .pro dropped today Wondering how big of a market that is.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

They are deleting one by one... up to ~30 min. dropwindow here...

Just amazed at some of the good domains being deleted and not picked up.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

So they will be picked up after a few hours or days...
It is just a question of time...

SalesJobs.Pro
Buenas.Pro are still avail.

Those are just from today.

If it was a .com, they would not even be avail. lol. Would of been auctioned or caught.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

.com is from another galaxy... and it was launched in 1985...
It is not comparable TLD at all.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Regarding 2word .PROs - such sales are very very rare... at least in 4-figure range...
Chances to sell are slightly higher than 0.

Dynadot backorder fee:
$8.99 >>> $17.99

JAMES.PRO (2015-2025) - registrant from Spain...

I hope, that Autumn'2017 will be significantly better...

Just received my 1st summer inquiry...

[Jurgen Wolf]

I regged it less than 2 months ago...

Congrats,
Anything good?
Is it a word or just random 4L?

I got to say, picking up expired .pros..... getting some decent traffic on them.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Russian bidder in 3-figure range...

Random/generic 4L, as I already said above...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

getting some decent traffic on them.

Yes, traffic on .PRO is not a surprise...
