“The .PRO domain’s popularity continues to soar,” says Thomas Barrett, President of EnCirca. “Licensed professionals looking to brand themselves online prefer .PRO, especially as their preferred names are rarely available in .com.”

According to the most recently published ICANN reports:

- There was an increase in .PRO one-year registrations of 140% this year over last year – in comparison, there was less than a 9 % increase in .COM one-year registrations from 2011 to 2012.

- Although .PRO is experiencing fantastic growth, there are still thousands of great names available. Consider this: there are approximately 150,000 .PRO domain names registered. In comparison, there are over 100 million .COM names registered. To increase the likelihood of securing your preferred name, pick .PRO over .COM.

- The total number of .PRO domains continue to rise. The total number of .PRO domains increased by nearly 39% from 2011 to 2012, while the total number of .COM domains has only risen 8%.

- Over a two year period, there has been an increase in .PRO domains of nearly 220% (from 2010 - present)

“ Your preferred names no longer available in .com are likely available in .PRO,” adds Barrett.

Many of the most popular words in the English dictionary such as against.pro, enough.pro, autumn.pro, difference.pro, and necessary.pro are available for registration. See the complete and current list of the most common words available in our exclusive list.
