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.

Video.pro $35,000.

Ok. I turned down a few 20k, 25k and 35k offers for my domain. After the development, perhaps it will go rocket

I'm thinking of liquidating some of my .pros, basically all that I can't develop :red: If anyone is interested, they're all at Encirca and expire mar or dec this year, send me a pm

There have been a lot of great drops in the last three months, sadly by the time they appear on motion.pro they are gone.

HEALER.PRO
INVOICE.PRO
DEVELOP.PRO
DIGI.PRO
REPO.PRO
INTEREST.PRO
PLASTICS.PRO
PLASTIC.PRO
LEGEND.PRO
NEWSPAPERS.PRO
OPERATIONS.PRO
All dropped and gone :td:

[Terrains]

Yeah, I noticed Madison.Pro dropped =/.

 

[InvisionTech]

Yeah, I noticed Madison.Pro dropped =/.

Only thing that kept me from renewing? $60 renewals, can't be sure what will be dropped next year, renewals seriously need to come down to reasonable levels from rip off levels and need to be competitive with other extensions.

If the price to renew is going to be $60 next year, .PRO is hosed.

You can't transfer .pros in or out of Network Solutions. Odd that they say you can't transfer between Network Solutions accounts either. RegistryPro have to address these issues, they are ridiculous. It's the sort of things you work out before launching an extension.

I now have the below update, and have initiated the transfer out of two of my NetSol dot pros.

Unless they're in the live auction don't expect too much.

You really can't compare the keyword quality with the ones Andrew submitted.

Certain keywords are worth money, but the tld needs more recognition, which might happen in one year or five.

 

[.tv]

I forgot to submit a few of mine.

Harbor dot Pro

Senate dot Pro

Parliament dot Pro

 

[b2b]

Has anybody submittted .pro domains for the domainer mardi gras/aftermarket.com auction?

 

[InvisionTech]

I did submit at aftermarket but I am not sure if they would include 'em.

 

[GF]

There are a lot of good keywords left to register in .PRO.

I picked up MoneyManager.pro this week.

Another issue...

First I thought it was just a mistake or something but it seems this is a business practice/standard at encirca only I hope?

My domain FreeGames.pro registered at Encirca was literally transfered from my account to encirca few days ago. I emailed Tom about it but no reply so far. Today, Billboard.pro was transfered to Encirca. Someone just logged into my account, initiated the transfer and accepted the move on encirca's own account. The domains were expired but I was in process of renewing all the domains... is this type of theft common among registrars?

 

[cdboard]

InvisionTech, it looks like those domains expired over a month ago.

how long do you expect a registrar to keep them for you after they expire?

I thought they DELETE the domains after like 42 day, not TAKE it from your account into theirs.
