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.

It is helpful to understand what is in demand by endusers... and from which countries (markets) they are...

Ah ok.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Regarding ads - they can be disabled completely in 1and1 panel...

And per my own experience, I had even 4-figure sales without any development for years...
So only buyers know why they purchase the domains...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Also, many buyers use their domains just for email...

that is true, I did use one for email for a short time.

For many years I use 2 .PROs for me and my family...

[Jurgen Wolf]

rhodes.pro $1,300

This year it was dropped... and instantly caught.
So one more sample when people spend 4-figure money but are not able to renew for ~$10...

You own booking.com?

no, I sold booking.pro many years ago to Andrew Campbal, and now booking.com owns it)
"
I sold Bookings.pro to Booking.com for $5,000 this week via a private sale. The WHOIS has been updated and it has been reported to DNJournal. If you recall I sold Booking.pro to Booking.com in November 2009 for 5,000 Euros but they have never updated the registrant details. I offered them Bookings.pro the following month but they didn't respond. In May 2011, I sent another email offering to buy Booking.pro back, a month later they responded and we agreed the sale of Bookings.pro.
