Warning on Registering .pro Domain Names: Process is Quite .lame

By Mark Kolich on October 29, 2008 1:02 PM | No TrackBacks
I recently tried to register a .pro domain name through my registrar, Network Solutions.  If you are considering registering a .pro domain, you should be warned that the .pro registry requires that you provide a valid and certified business license with your registration.  If you don't have a valid business license, you will not be able to register a .pro domain.  Unfortunately, my registrar did not alert me of this important fact until they billed me.

Apparently, I'm not worthy of a .pro domain name so I must be a .amateur (thanks Larry, for the pun).
