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.

search.pro also 2004...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Per my observation, it is absolutely really to sell tens of .PROs to endusers yearly if you prefer 3-figure flips...

[Jurgen Wolf]

My current 2016-stats on .PRO:
12 offers on 12 domains (up to $2K)...
1 of them sold for $1K.

15 already...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

RECOMMEND.PRO (2015) - solid enduser from Cyprus...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

15th offer is from Colombia... some startup...
Doing negotiations at now...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

pitstop.pro (2010-2020) - Russian enduser number N...

Badness Index as of now (less is better):
.org 0.20
.info 0.54
.PRO 0.84
.com 0.92
.net 1.02
.biz 1.73

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

One of my .PROs received ~$10-click (ParkingCrew)... nice! )

I absolutely don't understand these Pheenix-winners that don't set nameservers at all + they activate Privacy (which is also unredirectable on Pheenix)... Their chances to sell such domains to endusers ~0...
Some kind of newbies...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

p.s. newbies.pro is available... ))))

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

LICENSE.PRO - one more of 2004...

I have albania.pro for a few years and I'm not so sure what to do with it.

If you want to drop it - then upon deletion it will be reserved forever...

The domain was reserved, but at some point for some reason it was available so I reged it immediately

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

This rule is effective since Oct'2015... when NEW Agreement with ICANN was reached.
And I never saw any country-reservations in .PRO before this date...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Some folks already dropped a bunch of territories - all were reserved instantly.
So don't waste your time on backorders.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

This rule applies in English only.
Native names may be reregistered again.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Today tried to transfer my next .PROs to 1and1 - doesn't work at all (for any price)... or disabled on their side.

Available as of now:
