If you’ve had your eye on a .PRO domain, but haven’t been able to meet its extensive list of requirements, then this news is just for you: As of Nov. 16, 2015, .PRO is available for anyone to register!

Originally, .PRO required the potential buyer to be a professional who is licensed by a government certification body or jurisdictional licensing entity; and that the licensing entity requires its members to be licensed or admitted to perform their services. With those requirements in place, only those in select industries and professions were able to take advantage of the .PRO name space.

But now, the restrictions are being dropped in favor of allowing anyone who wants a .PRO domain to purchase one. No matter what kind of professional you are, you now have the opportunity to make your mark on the web with a .PRO domain.

So what will you register with .PRO? To get you inspired, we’ve come up with some totally usable ideas:

  • wafflemaking.pro
  • danceoff.pro
  • liontaming.pro
  • beerdrinking.pro
