Why iCANN Should Raise the Domain Price?

    Registering or renewing a domain name, starting July 1, 2010, is a bit more expensive now. No thanks to iCann's new increased fee rate.

    I really do not understand why the price rise at this point of time? Due to recession... prices of anything and everything is going down, I wonder what are the costs involved that has seen the rise... to justify an increase? :mad:

    I think they are working on some projects for making their services better, so they need to increase prices a little.

    There's no other reason for the price rise except that they want more money in their pockets :mad:

    Is there no competent authority who governs such matters? I hope these things are not left to the mercy of a single company or individual who would carelessly hold the whole world to its profit frenzy! :(

    yep Verisign is the "bad" one :p
    Maybe they are jealous, because some domains are sold for millions and they get only $10/year :p :p :p

    This is an interesting article on this matter:
    http://www.domainnamenews.com/registries/big-shocker-verisign-raises-prices-again/1492

    So in other words, this may not be the last time in the near future we see this sort of thing.

    Very intriguing deal that Verisign has there... a 7% increase yearly, is a bit steep... But that could also mean more deals over at your favorite registrar to offset the increase!! :) ... I know, I know, wishful thinking... lol

    This is really bad. How can a single service provider who has to face no competition, be allowed to raise prices of such a magnitude... every year? This job has to be entrusted to a no profit organisation... and not some commercial company! :mad:
