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.

@Londoneli
Recheck all your domains...
Blocked (serverHold + serverUpdateProhibited) at least negotiation, just detected.

Looks like registry is trying to stop domain investors

It's a error & same to me on a domain
'Auto Renew period' but domain have expire date 2021

Registry don't block anything

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Since ~May'2019 Afilias is blocking regularly and silently (serverHold status in WHOIS)... especially Namecheap domains...
This was described on the previous pages...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And I have no doubts, this is applicable to ALL Afilias TLDs...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

In the past, when AlpNames registrar was alive, they stopped all relations with Afilias for unknown reason...
And I guess, the real reason was the only one: too many blocked domains.

Sedo reported $2K transaction of HOME (2005).

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Home like gift...

Even my GEORGE (caught in 2018) was higher in March, I sold it for 2019 EUR BIN to Austrians.

Just detected accomplish with serverHold - recent reg at GoDaddy, a few days elapsed - and already blocked by Afilias.

 

[MasterGuru]

there is a problem with 1and1.com (ionos.com) registrar - it's completely impossible to turn off auto-renewal. Do you have the same issue? (then you are trying to press "Disable automatic renewal" the rotating circle appearing for a very long time and sometimes after that with message "Sorry, this page cannot be accessed at this time (Error 500)")
tryed to ask support with this problem - they are keeping silence....

Very sad....

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I disable it in a bulk at contract.ionos.com

Who has developed at Namecheap - it is blocked (serverHold).

 

[MasterGuru]

I disable it in a bulk at contract.ionos.com

What browser are you using?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

What browser are you using?

Chromium.

No any problems to disable Autorenewal for multiple domains at https://contract.ionos.com
I use it for many years.

When you try it one by one in the Domains section of their panel - it is really loading ~1 minute or even longer...
This way is suitable only for those who has 1 or few domains there.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And if domain was just registered/transferred - their system doesn't allow to disable Autorenewal immediately...
Wait at least 24h.

 

[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...

Just reminder.

1and1 is a big hell....

"Sorry, this page cannot be accessed at this time (Error 500)" - after long period of waiting...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I don't know...

I use contract.ionos.com almost daily without issues... from Ukraine and using Chromium on Debian...
Even just now I have logged in... and it works.

It is not available for me only sometimes when they perform maintenance.
