A Better Way For Engineers To Brand and Market Themselves Online.Boston, February 22, 2005 –EnCirca announces the availability of the .eng.pro domain name, in conjunction with Engineers Week (Feb. 20-26), Eng.pro is the internet domain specially approved for licensed engineers. Included with every eng.pro registration is a digital certificate to ensure secure and confidential communications for Professional Engineers.

In recognition of the world’s engineers and their contribution to society, EnCirca is reducing its fees 50% for all new .pro registrations through the end of March, 2005.

“For the first time, Professional Engineers have a distinctive way to market their services on the internet”, says Tom Barrett, President of EnCirca and mechanical engineering graduate. “With a .Pro domain name, they will get instant recognition of their status as a licensed engineer.”

Eligibility is open to any licensed engineer. This includes all engineering disciplines, including;

• Aeronautical Engineering
• Biomedical Engineering
• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Computer and Systems Engineering
• Construction Engineering
• Electric Power Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Environmental Engineering
• Fire Protection Engineering
• Materials Engineering

With a eng.pro domain, an engineer is able to utilize a fully functioning internet address. This can be used for email, web sites and marketing in the leading search engines. “A .Pro address enables Professional Engineers to use a professional
looking email address instead of a nondescript one from their Internet Service Provider (ISP),” says Barrett. “For the first time, Professional Engineers have their own brand on the internet”.

The eng.pro domain joins other industry-specific .pro domains such as law.pro, bar.pro and jur.pro, all for lawyers, cpa.pro and aca.pro for accountants and med.pro for medical doctors. To celebrate the introduction of the eng.pro for engineers, EnCirca is running a special promotion for all industry-specific domains through the end of March. The fee for all new .pro registrations is just $99.

Other licensed professions that EnCirca expects to be able to support in the future include: Architects, Certified Financial Analysts, Certified Financial Planners, Dentists, Nutritionists, Optometrists, Pharmacists, Physician Assistants, Podiatrists, Psychologists, Educators, Veterinarians, and Physical Therapists.
