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.

If you believe that Hostway suddenly got a block of 43,000 .pros registered, 100,000 .pros registered is possible. Having tried and failed to register .pros with Hostway over the years, I don't believe that. Growth in Russia is the more likely path to 100,000 .pros but I don't think the Russian registrar has gone from 2,598 to 50,000 in 3 months.

I think your figure of 52.61k is much more appropriate. I've been trying to get hostway to transfer .pros at their advertised 9.99 for several months now. Can you imagine a registrar that can't transfer a domain? Shouldn't that be part of registry 101!

No. I can't imagine a registrar that can't transfer a domain? And as far as I know you still can't download a simple list from EnCirca.

So was that at an open auction or did someone contact you first?

I think akcampbell has well proven through his sales history that there is a significant interest by business people who aren't having any problem paying 5K for a good .pro! I believe that a solid aftermarket is well underway here.

Otherwise the .pro registry continues to rev up with this news release.
They must have 100k in domains locked up somewhere to release this type of powerful statement.

The odd part, is that nobody within the domain community seems to be listening.

At the latest count 4 people are making money on .pro, and I do not see much room for more players

Somebody contacted me.

Is there interest in geo DOT PRO domains? How would you develop a geo DOT pro like Charlotte.pro?

That's what I was thinking while I was reading the article. Obviously I can't tell how many of these posts are duplicates but many of them appear to be forums and some domain news outlets. Please check the link and tell me what you think.
