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.

BROKER.PRO (2005-2024) - one more Swiss company...

There are good number of .PRO sites which are developed.
This one is related to real estate brokerage tool - Simple site but importantly developed.

3 inbound inquiries for me this week...
From Ukraine, Poland and Italy...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

There are good number of .PRO sites which are developed.

~284K domains as of today...
And all domainers cumulatively own no more than 20K, per my WHOIS research.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Today I have sold some financial English term (plural) for $1K... already paid to Payoneer Escrow.
My very special offer for this buyer from Qazaqstan.

p.s. So this is my 3rd .PRO sale in 2018.
~$900 per domain in average.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

All 3 - inbound.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

SUPERA.PRO (2017) - one more German company...

Sold an English word pro to a Russian, reseller I assume. Would Russian end users use English in their domains?

Yes, they are using both Russian and English...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

If buyers are from Moscow - then their .PRO offers can be up to $5K, this is my own stats.

Just rechecked DNPric.es
ALL my sales via Sedo (regardless of their Escrow or Marketplace) in 2017/2018 are absent for unknown reason.
And not only .PRO, but other TLDs as well.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Regarding Payoneer Escrow...
They are absent apriori if not reported manually.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I understand when portfolio is large and budget is not unlimited - so many drops are possible...
But I don't understand at all those guys who are dropping the domains like JAGUAR...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Fees will be increased by Afilias on September'1...
So renew/transfer as much as possible before this date...

~$1 increase.

If somebody sells LA PROperties, Limited Time Offer from me: https://sedo.com/search/details/?domain=losangeles.pro

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

WHOIS should be switched into Private mode on May'25...
And even registrars still don't know exactly: how the transfers will be processed... how to parse the required emails...
So I recommend you to transfer while WHOIS is fully accessible...
