FTD is represented by CSC Domains.

The domain name Pro.Flowers is currently not resolving

Interestedly the domain name Flowers.Pro is owned by 1800flowers.com which is also a CSC client.

        ProFlowers.com and FlowersPro.com are better than Pro.Flowers and Flowers.Pro.
        I think the major purpose of acquiring names in the new gtlds should be for
        trademark owners.
        Revenue chain is the registry to the registrar to the trademark owners

    “The domain appears to be on the Uniregistry reserved list as the domain was not “registered” by Uniregistry until the day before it transferred to FTD. The domain was not registered by North Sound Domains.”

    It’s a trademark but you can’t lose it in a UDRP if it’s not registered. Smart guy!

    So should this sale be merely considered trademark protection and not really a case of end users buying into new TLDs for the purpose of promoting their businesses? If a domain investor had registered this domain and listed it for sale, would a URS/UDRP filing have been a reasonable outcome?

    The company’s site is FTD.com. Does anyone know what FTD stands for? I checked the site but there’s nothing there to suggest the origin of FTD.

    Even if they got the name for free, it amazing me that a company would allow themselves to look so stupid.
