.prof domains

The .prof domain is a professional extension operated by Google Registry, taking its name from the shorthand for a professor or a professional. It suits academics, experts, and qualified professionals who want a distinctive personal brand that signals their standing. Professors use it for academic pages, specialists for expert profiles, and consultants for authority-led sites, all under a domain that reads as a mark of professional credibility. As with all Google-operated TLDs, .prof is on the HSTS preload list, so browsers require HTTPS for every .prof site and secure connections are enforced automatically. Registration is administered by the Google Registry under its terms and follows standard yearly periods. Because the word is short and recognizable, it forms sharp, memorable personal names. For an academic, an expert, or a qualified professional building an individual presence, ending the address in .prof puts a signal of professional standing directly into the domain with security built in.
