[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM Price Increases
by Elissa Eckenswiller Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hi there, I was recently notified of the contract changes by my domain provider, Namecheap. They mentioned that increased could be expected over the next 8 out of 10 years leading to a potential price increase for .COM of up to 70%. I wanted to reach out regarding this as it’s extremely concerning proposal to a small business owner such as myself. This type or change makes it difficult for small business owners and start ups to start and run their businesses. It puts barriers in the way of people operating their businesses and getting their ideas out into the world. It increases the operating costs and start up costs and makes it more difficult for entrepreneurs to change other people’s lives, make an impact and follow their dreams. As a web designer who works with other small businesses, I can see the impact that a price increase like this can have, on a grand scale. I urge you to please reconsider increasing the pricing for .COMs and recognize that making it more difficult for businesses to secure their place online impacts us all in a negative way. Thanks for your time, Elissa Vann

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Dot-Com domain fees
by Stan Huntting Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I strongly object to the proposed move to allow open ended increases in the fees charged for .COM domains. My own domain HUNTTING.COM has been the home for a long series of public service, non-profit, websites over the years. When first assigned, decades ago, there was very minor commercial content that has long since ended, but by then the domain name was established as a reference point for several Internet communities. Changing my domain to a ORG, NET or other TLD would be a disservice to many long-term users. Stan Huntting HUNTTING.COM -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement

Not fair. Like any bureaucracy you hide what you're doing at the end-user's expense. You should not allow Verisign to hijack the .COM domain.

Having a.com address for my small business is an absolutely vital part of my marketing. These changes and price increases could very well make it impossible for my business to afford keeping our current address. This does not seem like it could possibly be good for e-commerce. It is very much like rent prices forcing out mom and pop brick and mortar establishments. If the rent on.com addresses goes up too high nobody who is a solo entrepreneur is going to be able to afford them. The entrepreneurial spirit is a vital part of our culture and of our economy. Please reconsider these amendments. Thank you, Rachel Ferdaszewski

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I am a user of a .com domain name. I am totally against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. As a freelancer and small business owner its very inconvenient for me to spend extra money. moreover we need to pay expensive price for website hosting and maintenance. I hope you will understand and you’ll change your mind. Thanks for your consideration.
