[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] com fee increases
by murage Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I am definitely opposed to these fee increases. I own several .com domains and they are already expense as it is. It is not clear what you are going to be doing with the new fees except gouging the domain owners. M

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please do not approve amendment 3
by Steve Gray Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I do not support amendment 3 and do not believe that such agreements promote an open, competitive free-market. But rather simply cause rates to increase for end users, serving no other purpose other than to force end users to pay more in profit to companies (verisign in this case) who are largely disengaged from the end user. How long has verisign held this monopolistic position for now? Over 20 years?

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com Price Increase
by Jasmin Kirkwood Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

First off, it's really disappointing to hear about the shadiness associated with this new deal.. Shady business is not the kind of business I want to associate with at all. I would take on a ".anythingelse" with "NameCheap" in a heartbeat, if it meant lower costs and disassociation with a shady company. I recommend NameCheap to all of my clients, as I work with many entrepreneurs who are just starting up and already have many start up costs, without having to be concerned with higher monthly rates just to have a live space online with their own domain name. If ".coms" become too pricey, ".somethingelse" will just become the next best thing and eventually make it more acceptable to not have a ".com". Please keep things as they are! Jasmin

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition to proposed .com price increases
by Evan Burford Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I wish to voice my objection to the proposed .com price increases The amount of the increase and the frequency which it can be applied over the next 10 years is unreasonable. The changes should be revised to be more in sync with inflation in general. As there is no improvement or change to the service provided, the level and frequency of increase proposed is completely unjustified. Sincerely, Evan Burford

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Increase In Fees
by Ray and Cathy Posner Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I do not support the proposed increase in fees. They are too open ended without any proper regulation. Dot com domains make up a large percentage of all domains and I feel the proposed increases will effect smaller website owners to the point that they may have to curtail their operations or increase prices, which may result in loss of sales and income. Many websites are run by bloggers and others who run them as information only sites for the benefit of others and these increases may result in people having to shut down their sites due to cost increases. Finally, I don't think it is appropriate that these increases have been inflicted without proper industry consultation. Regards Ray Posner

It'll affect a lot of students as well as small business holders in getting the .com domains. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

I do not agree with the amendment. Already .com domains are expensive why do you want to charge us even more. Benjamin

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] You are killing SME /start ups
by Success Frontiers Feb. 11, 2020

I read with dismay with regards to the possible change in the increase in pricing. Such unidirectional decision will affect sme and start up who is working hard to make a living. For SME and start ups, every dollar counts as it is matter of survival.
