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.

I was there at my keyboard when .pro launched and within an hour had a list of approximately 100 available domains worth registering. I narrowed the list down to two and by the time that I decided which of the two I preferred, the #1 selection was registered. I was still happy with my registration and still am. The initial registration was $199 usd? Something like that. So...... It wasn't like I was going to register much more than 1 .pro domain. Totally speculative reg.
Domain registered : Privacy.pro
Privacy is a big concern for individuals and corporations as well.

MLS or regular sale?
For me MLS never works on Sedo...

 

[DNGear]

Regular.

~1.6K domains netgain in March = ~267.5K
Q1/2021: over 1K domains netloss.

Overall, already 6 bad quarters in a row for Afilias.
Last positive was Q3/2019.

~1.6K domains netgain in March = ~267.5K

It was 297K+ at the same point 2 years ago.

As I see, normal transfers are prohibited by religion, allowed only after Dynadot auctions...

Completely did not understand what you wrote

What do you mean by "normal transfers are prohibited by religion" ????
And what is "allowed only after Dynadot auctions"?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Somebodies @Dynadot are regularly transferring .PRO domains AFTER their expired auctions...
Not before Expiration date (like normal domainers), not even before auctions, but only AFTER those auctions...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And this conveyor @Dynadot works a few years already, without weekends and holidays...

~1.4K domains netgain in April = ~268.9K

Pheenix domains still exist, I still meet their .PRO domains with frozen Expiration dates like 2018...
Why they are alive and were not dropped/removed by Afilias - I don't understand...

Just 1 example: BASIC
