The organisation behind .pro has received approval to make the top-level domain available to users "anywhere in the world".
The new Internet top level domains came a step closer to reality today when the ICANN board authorised the president and general counsel to complete the negotiation of the remaining appendices to the agreements for the unsponsored top level domains .name, .pro, .biz and .info.
The International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved several new top-level domains, the suffixes attached to a Web address. There were nine contenders and seven winners.
Lots of people think .com when they think about the Web. If the domain you use has an extension other than .com, you can bet that potential visitors will get it wrong.
