Re: why are some domain extension so expensive?


some domains are 300 a year ;)

Not sure why some are so high, but I know that the new domain extensions are made for island and countries. like .in is a new one for India.

That would be awesome! We need to buy 50,000 domain licenses from the ICANN, at least to be granted registrar status.

I guess it depends who gets the rights to administer them and it's potentials, and what margins they want

also you have to go shopping, some have good prices since they have lots, others...

Yea that is what I have been told. But it came with my hosting package, which I got a discount on if I went through them to get my domain...

Re: why are some domain extension so expensive?


that's often a way to pay the price for hosting via some fake cheap pacjkage

but after a year you're free to move your domain to another reseller. My reseller systems doesn't ask a dime for transfer. You just pay the annual fee and with some time your domain is with my reseller. Depends on what extension you have for the price but most probably cheaper. And for sure many others offer the same I do.

Offering cheap hosting and then pay the bill via a very expensive domain .... nice way of doing business
