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.

Sedo reported $5K sale of Gambling.PRO (2006-2020).

I don't understand such "sellers"....
Looks like a gift if no any serious reason.

p.s. Seller from Taiwan.

I'm sure that if they are good 1 word domains - they will be caught instantly and traditionally.
