Auction of Handful of Premium Three Letter Domain Names — .Pro to

A dozen good three letter .pro domain names will be auctioned. Deadline to backorder is today.

The dotPro registry is auctioning off a dozen premium three letter .pro domain names. The list is solid:

eco.pro, dog.pro, dui.pro, ale.pro, eye.pro, tea.pro, ask.pro, run.pro, sax.pro, ear.pro, hip.pro, ssl.pro

In order to participate you need to backorder the domain names by 8 pm PST today.

I’ll be interested to see how much these domain names go for. .Pro is one of those domain names that crawled out of the gate thanks to overly-restrictive terms. At first you could only get a third level domain name and had to provide certification details (e.g. lawyer or accountant). That has since been relaxed to allow for second level registration. Technically you still need to provide some sort of credential information (at least as stated by the registry’s web site), but I don’t know how much this is enforced.
