Express Your Skillset With .pro

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

The TLD was launched 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 fields should consider using this TLD, regardless of whether you run an organization funding sociological research or a business offering professional dog grooming services. It’s also popular amongst professional hobbyists worldwide. This is your domain if you want your customers to know you’re a big shot in your niche.

Yes – registrations of .pro TLDs are on the rise, especially among professionals like communication specialists and freelance photographers. However, since it’s been only recently made available to everyone, plenty of domain names are still available for registration at a great price.

Don’t let your domain name expire. To renew a domain, head to the Domains dashboard in hPanel. 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.

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