Domain registration

N00b here - question on .pro registrations:

These have to be registered further?

http://www.registry.pro/professionals/find

How do I know which registrar is legit?


My domain has the name of the agency (individual) when I bought it (hosting agency off this forum, now defunct).

Registration of the domain has my correct email address as contact.

Looking to either set up this domain as a live website or sell and need to get the details straight.

Transfer it to a more trusted registrar like godaddy. From there you can change the administrative details of the domain.

Thanks, I heard mixed reviews about godaddy and didn't think to use it.

I'll check it out.

Just  use internet.bs.

Cheap and free privacy on most domains.

I can also vouch for internet.bs or internetbs.net. I been using them for many years without problem. They also have wide range of payment options.

Looking at internet.bs - they don't have the .pro extension.

I just emailed them about the possibility of transferring one.

Guess I can ask them about transferring one.

I think if they not offering a .pro domain, you cannot transfer your .pro domain to them.

Transfer to Namecheap IMO they now take BTC, we're moving a lot of domain names to NC now from eNom and GD over the fact they now take BTC. We want to deal with other BTC merchants.

Interesting site, but they can't transfer .pro either.
Might just have to start with a new one, looks like a ton of new TLDs are an option.

I'm not that into all these new tld's. Didn't realize they dont transfer pro. About the only thing I agree with Schwartz on as to domains (he's a decent player in doms) is .com is king.

.CO was heavily tested by Overstock. Remember they pushed O.co. Well they had a bunch of testing on it, had people see their commercials.

O.co over and over in the ads. You know what most of the subjects in their tests did? The majority all typed in O.com

So if you are going to try to brand any name, without the .com you have lost the battle. Let's say you have keyword.pro and you put keyword.pro on biz cards. Most of the potential clients are going to type in keyword.com not your keyword.pro or keyword.tld

Over the years we've invested in many tlds

.co
.ws
.biz
.whatever

As Rick Swartz says .com is KING

Understood. Bought .pro cause .com was taken.
But .biz is available.

.whatever - really? Is that a valid ltd?

What does the 'bs' in their name stand for? If you hear the name for the first time it sound a bit... well... Not that professional or positive 

[2dogs]

.bs is supposed to be for the bahamas?

They responded they could not transfer the .pro:

Thank you for your request and interest for Internet.bs Corp.
Unfortunately it is not possible to transfer the .pro domains to us as we do not support this domain extension here with us.
