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.

kolo.pro was registered in January and paid up to 2021, Russia...

I picked up Kungfu.pro on the 5th, had been tracking it for over 2 months.

Promo price, so mighty pleased.

Maybe I can start my own academy.

Is "kolo" the word for "bike" in Czech?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I guess it was registered for colocation-services or just as brandable LLLL...
"kolo" in native Russian doesn't mean anything.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Is "kolo" the word for "bike" in Czech?

Yes, visit kolo.cz
Also means "circle" in Ukrainian...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Another possible target - well known brand: kolo-international.com/pro/

Godaddy should really work on its issues with .pro and make it one of the offerings.

name.com - the same story...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Namecheap just started selling .PRO for $3.06

Camgirls . Pro

So, what are the real .pro registration stats?

No additions or drops in 3-4 days?

Zero registrations? Zero drops?

Looks like they're missing zone file data from the registry.
Anybody know of an alternate data source?
It's definitely an exciting time of growth with mainstream registrars (GD, NameCheap, Name.com) carrying the extension at reasonable prices.

I have never seen a site using this extension. Never even heard one.

Well, then, you must be new to domain names and the history of TLDs. Sure sounds like it.

That's a nice one.

No. Not the greatest fan of this extension. Do you have a site on it?
