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.

My name collection is now Juli, Erik, and Kathryn.

I have many personal (sur)names...
Were a few inquiries on them as well...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

ArtInvestor

I own ARTO and webarts.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

IPOD.PRO (2015) - Apple...

It was dropped by this domainer: https://www.namepros.com/threads/the-pro-discussion.522420/page-132#post-4239338

 

[maksimfa]

I hoped to get but someone caught everything.pro and Giro.pro today.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Try Dynadot pseudobackorder ($8.99+)...
It is definitely better than handmode...

But if seriously...
API and Pheenix...

 

[maksimfa]

API?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Yes, API...
Many registrars provide it...
If Dyna - https://www.dynadot.com/domain/api.html

 

[maksimfa]

Yes, API...

If Dyna - https://www.dynadot.com/domain/api.html

Ah no coding skills

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Dyna-API is very very simple...
Even blondes can use it...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

+ west.xyz has .PRO-backorder, as I know...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Press on GoDaddy to launch backorder and regarding their marketplace (because .PRO is still can't be listed there)...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

surnames - available...

 

[maksimfa]

Press on GoDaddy to launch backorder and regarding their marketplace (because .PRO is still can't be listed there)...

Yes, I do wish GoDaddy auction supported it. But on the flipside, I guess it is good they do not yet so all of the good names get deleted and avail to everyone. =)

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

They are not available for everyone... at least since April'2016 ~90% of the quality English drops are snapping instantly...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Regarding me...
I have stopped my active dropcatching this Winter... because too many domains already for me and budget is limited...

How many .pro do you own? =)

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

~2K as of today...

 

[maksimfa]

~2K as of today...

What % of the total Pro market? hehe.

Congrats, I am sure you have gems!

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

267K+ .PROs are registered as of now...
So my .PROfolio is not even 1%...

 

[maksimfa]

1% of Apple or Amazon is still Millions. =)

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Without GoDaddy we will never have any millions... )
Even 5-figure enduser sales will be 1-2 yearly... no more...
That's why GD is critically important here...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And the best outcome for .PRO - if it will be resold by Afilias to another and really serious company...
Afilias is very weak in terms of .PROper marketing...
5.5 years elapsed since they purchased .PRO - and results are minimal... they have not even opened LLL.PRO

 

[maksimfa]

picked up inferno.pro and infamous.pro

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Already up to 60% of all my inquiries in 2017 - from Russia...
So you may ignore GoDaddy if such stats is suitable for you...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I am sure you have gems!

GEMS.PRO (2007-2024) are owned by enduser from Greenland...
