.PRO Domains Available Now
As you may already know, .PRO domains have been around for several years. However, they were previously difficult to register and maintain. So much so that our partner registrar, OpenSRS, did not even carry them. Recently they have streamlined the administration of .PRO domains, and now SWCP is happy to be able to register them. To celebrate we’re running a 2-for-1 promotion until Feb 15th 2012! Buy a .PRO domain for $20, and we’ll register it for 2 years instead of 1! .PRO domains are intended to be used by licensed professionals (Doctors, Lawyers, Architects, Engineers, etc.) As such, there is some additional information you have to provide when you register the domain (your license number, and a pointer to the authority which issued the license). We have a page describing a bit more about .PRO domains, complete with a request form if you want to get one of your very own, right here.
.XXX domains have gone live
The .xxx domain registry has gone live. We’ve registered several .xxx domains for customers who want to keep them out of the hands of others. Most people don’t need to worry about that, but some folks with high-profile domains, or domains that have the potential to sound a little risqué in the right light are being a little extra cautious. When we register a domain for this purpose, the WHOIS lookup for the domain looks like this: whois somedomain.xxx NOT AVAILABLE In this case, “NOT AVAILABLE” means the domain has been taken by someone so it is not available to be registered. Note that the owner of the domain is not printed. If you have any questions about .xxx domains, drop a line to help@swcp.com.
