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.

OMNI.PRO (2008-2028)
Nice and serious company...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Afilias will increase fees for their gTLDs on Jan'1/2020...
Something like +10%...
So transfer/renew prior this date...

p.s. $5 transfer to 1and1 still works...

Also, which portal will be best for listing it.

Very nice ! Outbound?

What do you mean " outbound"?

 

[Armageddon]

What do you mean " outbound"?

outbound - mean you contact potential buyers, send emails , recived email from buyers etc..

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Outbound doesn't work with .PRO domains. In ~99% of cases all sales are inbound or via MLS/DLS.
.PROven for almost decade (from my experience and observation).

 

[Abhi007007]

And this was already posted, but I can repeat...

From what I see and including own experience:
Majority of .PROs are selling within $500-$2K range...
Strong keywords - up to $5K...
The best - up to $25K...

"Housing" considered a strong keyword??
"Housing" gets 300K monthly searches in US and it has more than 200 TLDs registered.

Yes, this domain has 5F potential to the right buyer in the PROperties niche...
