BulkRegister Opens .pro Pre-Registration
May 30, 2003 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- BulkRegister (
bulkregister.com) announced yesterday that it is accepting defensive registrations from trademark holders during the "sunrise period" for the .pro domain that ends June 30. The company will also be accepting advanced pre-registration from all qualifying professionals.
The .pro domains are available only to licensed legal, medical and accounting professionals. Registrants must certify that they meet the domain’s eligibility criteria in order to qualify for pre-registration.
The “live launch” of the .pro domain is scheduled for July 1.
All new domains will be issued with a digital certificate that facilitates secure online communications and transactions.
"The new .pro domain, with its professional certification process and security standards, is a requirement for our members who need to create a secure environment to exchange sensitive information with their clients," said BulkRegister CEO Thomas Cunningham. "In addition, having a .pro name conveys credibility to potential clients and will provide significant differentiation in a highly competitive online business environment. We encourage all potential registrants and trademark holders to act now to protect their brands, before the land rush on .Pro begins July 1."
Based in Baltimore, Maryland, BulkRegister is a provider of B2B domain name registration.
