.pro

Professional

Generic Restricted

Overview

Licensed professionals were once the only parties eligible to register a .pro domain. Doctors, lawyers, and accountants had to demonstrate credentials, a restriction that kept the extension small after its 2004 launch and was eventually lifted in favour of open registration. Identity Digital now operates roughly 350,000 domains. The credentialing history left behind a connotation of expertise that continues to attract professional service providers, even though nothing in current policy requires a licence.
