domain registration business...

Hey, is that a price or an application code? wow.
Rep on it's way

 

Yes .info's are always great. But you always can catch them on sale at one registar or another. RF had them for .60 1st year - renewal at reg price. Dotster has one for .77 cents renewal at reg price ($14.95). Godaddy is going I think at $1 renewal at reg price.

So if you run a special of .info's you could bring in some traffic.

 

You should lower your price on the .info's..
Godaddy is selling them from 1 dollar to 2 dollars.

 

Thanks. It is a price, which you have to pay to ICANN along with submitted application.

 

HA, yeh, an application code alright. A Non-Refundable, whether you get approved or not application code.

 

Of course, that is a business to earn them money.
Plus, a non-refundable fee is so very convenient, isn't it i Wish there were a good justification for that fee amount.

 

Agreed, it does seem pretty rediculous! I guess it's just because they don't want everyone getting approved.

 

I think they are just setting up a high target that cannot be reached by every company willing to become an accedited domain registrar.
If it were 100$ I would apply myself. With the current application fee they aim to keep only serious companies coming, I guess. Then you get absolutely no guarantee that the registrar is not a scammer.

Other than that, I don't see a valid justification for the so high fee amount.

 

its not too high for an established company, which I think is why they have such an application fee. If a scammer became a domain name registrar, they could actually shut the internet down.
