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.

Looks that ELB/Netissime/Magic.fr renewed your domains again, their buggy system doesn't drop anything a few years already... And even your WHOIS contacts remain...
Just FYI.

p.s. My domains were dropped completely after my ticket.

Just 1 live example: CURA

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

telebanking.pro

Yesterday received my 1st inquiry in 2021...
Some buyer from NYC on DAN with mid $xxx budget - rejected it.

.PRO Names

Not looking to sell, but to develop within a year:

ArtificialIntelligence.pro
BusinessOpportunity.pro
Disaster.pro
Dominatrix.pro
Earnings.pro
FixedIncome.pro
HomeOffice.pro
Photovoltaic.pro
Salesperson.pro
SolarEnergy.pro
SolarPanel.pro
SolarPower.pro
Speaker.pro
VirtualReality.pro
Vlog.pro
WirelessPhone.pro
Wisdom.pro

Any suggestions on which two or three to begin with?

Which of these did you build out? Are you promoting affiliate offers, or do you sell leads or have some other strategy?

 

[Scot Thomas]

OK, I'll say it.....I LIKE .pro Why is it the gld that doesnt get any love? I mean- PRO means "professional; I am really really good at what I do, and I get better results and faster than anyone else; I'm up-to-date on the latest tools and techniques and technologies." So who WOULDNT like it? (provided an appropriate term)

I sold a few domains years ago, but now I'm interested in lead generation and affiliate marketing, so I don't factor in the bare value of the name, only how I can use it.

That being said, why isn't the market warmer .pro when the fit is good?

Cheers, Scot

Among many others my favorite sense is PROmotion...

So almost 4 months elapsed - zero activity from Donuts.
They just purchased these stocks and that's all.

What are your current 2021 results?

For me, the only 1 transaction for $100 to another domainer.
Highest inquiry from endusers was at $1K level.

Last week, for the Capital.pro, I was offered 500 euros on Dan.com...I turned down such a "wonderful" offer )

Capital.pro

Ask Sedo to disable ZeroClick/Tier2 per your account OR set their strict Sales landers.
I just checked this domain a few times - and all times it redirected me somewhere else.

Since 2020 I see new trend in .PRO...
Somebodies massively catch tons of .PRO drops just for parking/redirects...
They are not for sale as primary purpose.

Tip for them: you can do the same just by regging because tons are available...
Dropcatching is not necessary.
