Since February 10th, 2010 .PRO domain names that consists out of one to three characters, are available for registration. Just like characters, letters and numbers will both be accepted. However, some names are prohibited like letter-combinations equivalent to official country codes: it is for example not possible to register domain names such as fr.pro, de.pro, etc.
Also, the conditions to register are very specific:
First, the rule of “first come, first served” won’t be efficient this time. Every application will be studied according to the register’s and the user’s interests.
Second, all the non- accepted domain names will be then sold by auction. If they are still not sold after this phase, they will simply be available again but this time under the rule of “first come, first served”. Three different phases exists to register a .PRO domain name.
In a world where everything needs to go fast, those short and practical domain names should be very successful…
