.pro is a generic top-level domain for professionals. It was created in 2002 and is operated by the Registry Services Corporation . The intention is to signal to people visiting the website that you are a professional, and that you are not making your credentials up, but so far, .pro has not been very popular.
.pro domains are very expensive compared to other domains, even .ie, and your professional credentials must be verified should you wish to purchase a .pro domain. It costs $350, with a one-time $100 registration fee. But for that large sum, you get official certification that your credentials are accurate.
.pro has three second level domains: .law.pro, .med.pro, and .cpa.pro, reserved for lawyers, doctors, and certified professional accountants , respectively.
