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.

I have Findlawyer.pro, PAPS.pro, Page1.pro also 00234.pro what do you think?
And I have two more that I plan to develop it f I have a time Loker.pro (job seeker in english) & PeluangBisnis (business news and economics in english)

Loker is not bad definitely...
PAPS is perspective as well...

promiser.pro (2016) - enduser from Vilnius...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

More than 1.3K .PROs have been added yesterday...

Maybe, because Namecheap has lowered .PRO to $1.06...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Dec'31 - the last day of such prices, just reminder...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Vivien.PRO (First Name) - fresh reg, French enduser...
This and also a few others were in my list for bulk registration later this month...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

~1.1K my .PROfolio as of today...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Gambling

Looks like saving...

p.s. Gambling - is all about .top and .gdn

 

[Jackie]

Raising funds for renewals. Take a look.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

400K+...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Guys, how is it possible? :
I see that some domains are registered via Dynadot and after some time I see that the same domain(s) was registered via other registrar

Explained above.
+ you may notify Dyna-team about such unfair behaviour as well...

 

[Jackie]

Well the domain tasters pay $1.00 drop fee and they can't do it anymore after the drop rate for the month has reached 10% right? How is this unfair? If anything, I see it as a huge waste of the tasters' money.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

This drop rate is not per user but per all regs by all users...

 

[Jackie]

Right, it is # .PROs deleted / # .PRO registered at Dynadot for the month.
If people "abuse" the privilege, Dynadot will simply raise the drop fee to equalize supply/demand for grace deletions. .com and other popular extensions are already at $3.00 and its quelled much of the bulk vacuuming and dropping that was prevalent before.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And I don't see any waste here for him...
If $2.99 is credited then reregistered for $1 - it means that this snapping actually costs $2 per domain utilizing Dyna-API ($1.99 saving per each domain)... That's why it is unfair and abusive also.

 

[Jackie]

From an API perspective I see your point.
Are you running into a lot of issues with throttling when using the API for drop catching?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And we are talking about Dyna-API only...
At least 1 month already I see this behaviour daily!

 

[Jackie]

If you can't beat them why not join them.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

The most recent sample: HOSTED.PRO

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

If you can't beat them why not join them.

I can beat, but I don't delete my .PROs when snapped with @Dynadot.
This is a difference between us.
