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.

Yesterday I registered those two german top .pro's:

rente.pro pension
vorsorge.pro pension

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

369K+
So per my records ~6.5K netgain during May (without GoDaddy de facto)...

30 days left...

Yesterday I have caught the one of .PRO-drops...
The same day it has been sold for $1K (passive sale as always for me, Bodis-form)...
Just started this transaction via Sedo-escrow (3% or min. $60)...
The domain name you will see at DNJournal soon... don't want to publish here...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

This is my 6th .PRO-sale.
High $xxx per domain in average.

I can see that most of my .PRO names all are getting some decent passive traffic (I've created individual landing pages for them).

That's positive!

Hannover - mine.

Hanover - English-spelling of Hannover is RESERVED.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanover

Yes!

With many cities and places you will have to decide if you want to attract the locals or tourists with your name

Hannover - Hanover
Köln - Cologne
København - Copenhagen
Krungthep (กรุงเทพฯ) - Bangkok

And so on... Ok, now back to topic

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Koeln - also mine. )

p.s. Any IDN is NOT supported in .PRO

I like this one for a reason haha

I personally kind of like that, I am not a super fan of IDNs. I have two: Ü.club and Ö.land (Swedish island) :P

Edit: I have one more: Träning.nu (Träning = exercise. Nu = now. In Swedish).

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

No any problems with German-IDN on German keyboards.
And these domains are selling high... even .info

 

[Fancy.domains]

Ok! Thanks for the info Jurgen.
