.PRO, where PRO derives from 'professional', is a reserved domain for companies and individuals who offer qualified services. Learn more about this highly specific domain and check out the eligibility rules.
Why a .PRO domain name?
With .PRO, your business profile will have its own official license for proficiency and credibility. Since only companies with a business license can become registrants, it will be instantly clear to your site visitors that the services you are offering are of professional quality.
Since .PRO was initially restricted to just a few professions (like lawyers and engineers), there are still many .PRO domains available for immediate registration. Even if you already have your good .COM or .NET site name, make sure you get its .PRO version as an add-on license for your professionalism. It will be fine to just redirect the .PRO version to your original site.
.PRO characteristics
As mentioned earlier, .PRO is available to licensed professionals exclusively. This means that the applicants will need to provide a proof that they offer professional services and operate in good standing with the licensing authority. .PRO can be registered for up to 10 years, allowing you to secure your ownership over the domain for a long period of time.
