Hostway Announces ?The .Pro Red Carpet VIP Affair? Domain Reservation Period
2008-08-19
In anticipation of the relaunch of the .Pro TLD on September 8, Hostway
encourages reservation of .Pro names with ?The .Pro Red Carpet VIP Affair?
CHICAGO, Illinois, August 19, 2008 ? Hostway Corporation, the global Web
solutions leader, announced it is now taking reservations for the .Pro Top Level
Domain (TLD) through August 31, 2008.
Hostway?s wholly owned subsidiary, RegistryPro, is the exclusive Internet
registry for .Pro, a TLD for licensed professionals and entities. RegistryPro?s
mandate has long been to enable professionals to distinguish themselves on the
Internet by using the .Pro extension. Originally .Pro registration was
restricted to a limited group of professionals in specific countries. Under
ICANN?s new guidelines, the TLD is effectively available to all professionals,
all over the world.
?When RegistryPro announced in May that ICANN had dramatically expanded the
scope of the .Pro TLD ? and relaxed the limitations surrounding its use ?
Hostway was eager to be among the first to promote the relaunch,? stated Lyza
Latham, director of marketing for Hostway. ?.Pro is now a must-have TLD for any
professional individual or organization seeking to reinforce their image and
legitimacy.?
?Because the registration process was previously so strictly controlled, there
are literally millions of .Pro names currently available,? continued Latham.
?While professionals will still be required to self-certify their credentials,
the process is significantly streamlined.? For more information about
certification, refer to Hostway?s .Pro FAQs.
Through August 31, The .Pro Red Carpet VIP Affair will allow customers to
reserve their .Pro domain in advance of the relaunch for the price of $49.95 per
year. On September 8, Hostway will officially open registration and all reserved
names will become active.
