Домены .PRO

.pro domains are very expensive compared to other domains. Professional credentials must be verified, and the domain costs $350, with a one-time $100 registration fee. The .pro serves as an official certification that the website owner's credentials are accurate.

.pro has three second level domains: .law.pro, .med.pro, and .cpa.pro, reserved for lawyers, physicians, and certified public accountants, respectively. Direct second-level registrations were later opened up, with restrictions.

Registrations are processed via accredited registrars. Some registrars have exploited a loophole whereby .pro domains may be registered on behalf of a third party as long as there is a nominal registrant with proper qualifications; in this manner, unrestricted .pro registrations were offered using the credentials of somebody affiliated with the registrar. Much debate has ensued about the propriety of such registrations.

RegistryPro is the exclusive operator of the .Pro top-level domain selected by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and numbers (ICANN). RegistryPro's top-level domain is the first and only domain extension exclusively for professionals on the Internet.

RegistryPro recognizes that a professional's primary asset is the trust of their clients. This is easy to establish in person, but difficult to convey over the Internet. To create trust online, electronic communications and transactions must remain private and secure - RegistryPro offers the solution!

.Pro Product Information

Qualified professionals will be able to purchase any of the following products:

.Pro Third-Level:

Members of the medical, legal, accounting and engineering professions, licensed in the United States, Canada, Germany or the United Kingdom, are eligible to register for third-level .Pro domains. Registrants can secure profession-specific third-level names such as name.law.pro, name.med.pro and name.cpa.pro. Each registrant's identity and professional license information will be verified against relevant public and third-party databases prior to domain name activation. Additionally, each domain is issued with a digital certificate and each registrant will have the choice of an SSL or email (s/MIME) certificate.

.Pro Second-Level Resolving:

Registrants who provide multiple professional services (e.g. legal and medical services) are eligible to register a resolving second-level name (e.g. companyname.pro). After purchasing and qualifying for two third-level domains, in two distinct professions (e.g. name.law.pro and name.med.pro), registrants may request their desired second-level name. Each resolving second-level name is issued with a digital certificate and each registrant will have the choice of an SSL or email (s/MIME) certificate.

.Pro Second-Level Redirecting:

Registrants who provide professional service in the medical, legal, accounting and engineering professions and have registered a third-level domain under that profession, registration can also be performed on the second-level for a redirecting name (e.g. companyname.pro redirects to name.law.pro).

After purchasing and qualifying for one third-level domain (see above), registrants may request their desired redirecting second-level name. In this case the second-level name will require a redirect to the third-level professional designator that corresponds to the registrant's professional area. Each redirecting second-level name is issued with an email (s/MIME) digital certificate.

.Pro Defensive Product Information

Individuals interested in a .Pro domain who a) would like to protect a trademark or service mark that was issued before September 30, 2003, b) would like to use a .Pro domain at a future date but do not want to run the risk of losing their desired name, or c) are waiting for the availability of .Pro domains in their country or jurisdiction, will want to investigate the four available defensive registration products.

Defensive Registrations have:

• A four-year registration term
• Do not resolve on the DNS
• Block out all matching domain names

• Example: A Japanese professional wants to protect a domain name that he/she may decide to register when .Pro domains become available in Japan. The professional may register a .ProReserve Defensive Name Registration in the interim, which could be converted to a live name when the appropriate local verification mechanism is established and the Registrant provides all necessary information to satisfy those specific requirements.

• The trademark or service mark must have national effect. European Community Trademarks, or United States trademarks are eligible, while state or local registrations such as US State registrations are not.
  
• The trademark or service mark must have been issued prior to September 30, 2003.
  
• The desired domain name must be identical to the textual or word elements of the trademark or service mark.
  
• Potential domain names must consist only of letters, digits and hyphens. (A hyphen cannot be in the first or last position).
  
• Third-level IP domain names must be identical to the textual or word elements of the trademark or service mark.
  • In general, alphanumeric ASCII characters (letters and digits), plus the hyphen character, in the textual or work elements of the trademark or service mark will be considered in determining whether an Intellectual Property Defensive Registration is identical to the textual or word elements of the trademark or service mark, and other characters will be ignored.
  • Acceptable exceptions include:
    • 1. A space between the textual or word elements of the mark, the space may either be replaced by a hyphen or removed completely in the Intellectual Property Defensive Registration (e.g., the trademark "Example Mark" becomes the Intellectual Property Defensive Registration "examplemark" or "example-mark").
      
    • 2. When the trademark or service mark contains an ampersand (&), the ampersand may either be replaced by "and" or removed completely in the domain name (e.g. "AT&T" matches either "atandt" or "att").
• The same service or trademark may be used to register multiple Intellectual Property Defensive Registrations, provided that each Intellectual Property Defensive Registration meets the previously described matching criteria.
