Many people don’t realize that buying a .pro domain is not too much different that buying a regualar domain. If you have concerns over registry requirements you really shouldn’t.  The registry now allows for instant registration and activation of .pro domains and you just specify your field of business in a drop down menu upon completing the sale of the domain.

Basic requirements can be met with a business license and establishing that an an account with a registrar will allow you to purchase an unlimited amount of .pro domains. This certification process presents itself as complicated in the past, but in fact is very easy to accomplish and takes little time to get in order. Since, most business people wanting to open a website for business purposes have a business license already or are professionals of standing there should be little worry about addressing these basic requirements.

Now, finding a registrar that sells .pro’s is somewhat easier than it was even a few years ago. since the domain extension is increasing its exposure more registries offer the extension for sale. Price may be the concern and for .pro the cost of ownership is in par with other extensions of similar stature such as .net, .org or .com! This make annual renewals fairly easy to handle and you can certainly purchase more than one.

Still it is easy to get general business names for fairly low prices in compared with other extensions and it’s encouraged for buyers to act quickly since prices are not going to get any cheaper soon. With recent sales such as go.pro to the tune of 40K. it will not take much time to see aftermarket sales increase for this extension like is commonly seen in other major extensions.

It’s an exciting time to capitalize on dot pro domains and striking now while the iron is hot will help get you in on the upswing that we expect to see happen in this extension. Active development is being seen but we expect that more domain holders will start putting their domains to use this year as the industry is starting to wake up to .pro domains being a major player in the industry.
