The '''Second Level Domain''', or '''SLD''', is the data directly before the top-level domain ([[TLD]]).<ref>[http://www.giantgeek.com/blog/?p=97 What is a SLD]</ref> For example, in www.example.com, “example” represents the second level domain, as the suffix "(dot)-com" represents the [[TLD]]. The SLD is generally the portion of the [[URL]] that identifies the website's domain name.<ref>[http://www.build-your-website.co.uk/choosing-domain-name-second-level.htm SLD]</ref> Usually, the SLD is determined and defined upon registration of a domain name. More than one SLD can function on the same [[Internet Protocol|IP]] Address.<ref>[http://help.godaddy.com/article/335 SLD Definition]</ref>

The [[.pro]] TLD allows registrations under the top level domain and under several second level domains, which are: .law.pro, .jur.pro, .bar.pro, .med.pro, .cpa.pro, .aca.pro, and .eng.pro. Registration under both the TLD and SLDs is intended for certified professionals, and in the case of law.pro, the registrant must provide license information that can be independently cross-verified in his or her jurisdiction. All other registrations are randomly verified against an appropriate licensing or accreditation database using the self-certified professional data that the registrant provided at the time of registration.<ref>[http://www.registry.pro/professionals/why Why register .pro, registry.pro]</ref>
