Express your skillset with .pro

.pro was initially set up for certified professionals. It’s the generic top-level domain name (gTLD) for websites maintained by experts in their respective fields.

It was founded in 2004 for members of four certified professions – accountants, engineers, lawyers, and medical professionals. Since 2015, the domain has been available to all registrants.

Good news – .pro is open to everyone. Professionals of all strokes should think about using this domain, whether you run an organization funding sociological research or a business offering professional dog grooming services. It’s also popular amongst professional hobbyists worldwide. If you want your customers to know you’re a big shot in your subject, this is the domain.

Yes, and registrations of .pro are on the rise, especially among professionals such as communication specialists and freelance photographers. However, since it’s been only recently made available to everyone, there still is plenty of opportunity to register your dream domain for a great price.

Don’t let your domain expire. To renew a domain, check your Domains dashboard. A quick hover over its status will show you how long your domain’s grace period will be before it enters redemption. To renew, simply click the Renew now button.

In order to renew a domain that is in the redemption phase, you will need to contact our customer success team for help. There may be an additional fee.

Note that not all TLDs have a grace period – some of them go straight to redemption. For this reason, we recommend enabling auto-renewal.
