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.

was it showing in drop lists? available for backorders?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

No any sense to backorder them... due to the new .PRO-Agreement with ICANN (Oct'2015) they are classified as RESERVED.

Jurgen, that's impressive you have the tenacity to hold on for the long haul with those offers coming your way. Did you purchase most of those names for reg fee, or acquired on the after market? What's your outlook on .PRO in the next 1 - 2 years?
