Secondly, Registry.pro itself carefully counter checks a customer's professional and business qualifications before assigning a .pro domain. And this gives the .pro domains they administer a weight and standing that cannot be ignored. [1]
History
Registry.pro became an exclusive, ICANN accredited administrator of .pro extensions in May of 2002. However, the company actually started into active business in the year 2004.
At first it restricted access to the .pro extension solely to qualified professionals in medicine and engineering, as well as to lawyers and accountants. This is part of the reason why the .pro extension has such weight today.
But in the year 2008, Registry.pro changed its policy, allowing the .pro extension to all manner of qualified professionals everywhere. [2]
Business
Registry.pro has a highly controlled and professional approach towards the .pro registrations that it administers, making intensive checks of a applicant's qualifications.
At the same time this system of verification is optimized, and this allows an applicant to use their .pro domain the moment verification is completed. [3]

Recent news
In a ground breaking decision Registry.pro reduced the price it charges registrars for its .pro extensions by more than 25%.
The company can obviously afford to do this because it has seen considerable growth in recent years. As a matter of fact the company reduced its prices every year since the year 2002.
As prices reduce and the .pro extension becomes more accessible, it is expected that sales volumes of the extension domains will continue to increase in future. [5]
