About .prof

Prof is short for professor, and like the related .phd and .mba endings it is operated by Google rather than any university system, so no academic appointment is required to register it. It suits genuine academics, tutors trading on the title informally, and anyone using prof as a nickname rather than a rank.

Suits: Academics, tutors, and anyone using prof as an informal title.

It is one of 15 education and training endings in the catalog.

What a .prof costs

$60 a year. One flat shelf price in dollars, drawn from your credit balance — there is no first-year discount that triples at renewal, and no fee for the privacy, because the name is registered in our name by default rather than as a paid extra.

The catalog lands on 5 price bands, and .prof sits in the $60 one alongside 122 other endings. 19 endings are cheaper and 246 cost more.

TermPricePer year
1 year$60$60
2 years$120$60
3 years$180$60
5 years$300$60
10 years$600$60

DNS on the name is included and never billed. This registry does not offer DNSSEC.

Registering a .prof anonymously

Offbook never asks who you are. Opening an account takes an email address you invent, a password and an invite code — no legal name, no address, no phone number, no card and no identity documents. Funding is crypto, so no bank or processor is in a position to demand them.

The .prof is then held in our name rather than yours, so the public record has nothing of yours to show. You keep operational control of the name — DNS, renewals and where it points — from the desk or through the API. Read more on anonymous domain registration.
