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.

New gtld's coming out should help .pro as the associated advertising will break the mold of the mindset that you only have to own a .com. Then of course out of all the new extensions I still believe .pro is one of the best given its ability to elevate the domain with a higher end appearance.

I know many will disagree but I still think .pro adds tremendous value and is largely generic as it will apply to thousands of words.

Other new gtlds won't have such a broad range keyword combinations that work.

For all you people that think .pro websites aren't being developed take a look at this.

Was pleasantly surprised by all the russian and foreign development that is taking place along with some nice sites in the US. Seems there are some genuinely unique sites being created with some following.

From the site: "As few as 0.0% of all of the most popular websites on the internet have a .PRO extension making it the #79 top level domain!"

 

[webdomain]

So does .gov have 0.0% of all the most popular sites which is top 1 million sites online. My point was more about .pro being developed by some more serious web developers and I think that companies like tech.pro will really help the extension become more ingrained into the core of the internet since it appeals to programmers and the like. .Pro is an underdog that continues to show a great deal of promise and worth the risk for investment.

dotPro Sales Event

Any other members with dotPro portfolio's interested in organizing and promoting a sales event?

Sure

Bulk sales environments usually fall short of public expectations both in terms of price and sales numbers.

I can 'contribute' with only a few names but I would like to see what will happen.

UDRP on a .pro

Hope this works out for the .pro owner...

on another note I think the first line of The Domains post disregards the fact most of .pro domain owners do give a crap

99% of you ? not so sure about that...its a good read

Happy Hollidays, Merry Christmas, Hronia Pola !

This only confirms what we (.pro owners) know already, that the extension acts somehow like a domain hack. The pattern of this case was discussed here on NP regarding of domain case, if someone can file a complaint regarding a domain hack, because extensions are not included in this case.

I believe this case will probably be a point of reference.

It's a powerful domain and really sucks that it is hit like this!

kinda like auto.shop or free.web ?

Know many won't agree with me but .com will be in decline as I agree with this article. The internet is in a big shake up and believe .pro's will find a nice home when the internet is redefined.

3K dropped last month?

Is it because of new gTlds coming?!
