Register a .pro domain
Short for “professional”, .pro is a natural ending for specialists and firms whose name is their reputation.
About .pro
.pro is a generic top-level domain that launched in 2004 as a restricted zone for licensed professionals — lawyers, doctors, accountants and engineers had to prove their credentials to register. In 2015 those requirements were dropped and the zone became open to everyone, while keeping its professional image.
Its typical users are independent practitioners and small firms: legal and tax advisers, medical and dental practices, architects, translators, photographers, coaches and IT consultants. Many also use .pro for a personal professional profile separate from their employer's site.
Names that work best combine a surname or practice name with the profession or city — for example “aliyev-law.pro” or “kaplan-dental.pro”. In many languages “pro” also suggests expertise in a hobby or sport, so the ending can fit trainers, guides and gear reviewers as well.
