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.

Do you know what happened with .PRO Registry?
Trying to register communicatiebureau.pro domain, it dropped today. According WHOIS it's not registered, but if trying to register it - domain is not available. Very strange thing

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Nothing happened with Afilias...
I just checked another drop today like settings - it is regged on GoDaddy.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Ask Dyna directly...
Sometimes connection issues there... and not only to Afilias...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I can confirm that Afilias blocks the domains listed in SURBL.
Keep this in mind.

.pro dropping time is changed?

.pro dropping time is changed?

Now the same drop .PROcedure as Afilias uses for .ORG

It was dropped almost 3 years ago according to Whoisology.
Don't bet on 2word.PRO endusers... they are very rare on aftermarket.

Sedo transfer agent just said that the buyer is experienced and purchased several domains before - so looks like another domainer.

WHOIS is updated already...
According to my research the buyer is gorilla-domains.de
