[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please don’t raise .com registration prices!
by Miki Dutt Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

As a small business owner every cost hits hard, and raising .com registration prices disproportionately hits small businesses and everyday people much harder than the big multinational companies for whom this wouldn’t even be a drop in the bucket. In the long-term it leads to a less democratic internet that’s only for the big guys, crowding out all of the small and more interesting services and, well, everything else we all love about the internet. Please keep these thoughts in mind before making a secret deal with Verisign that I’m sure will mainly be to their benefit but to the detriment of literally everyone else in the world.

It seems to me a robbery that the prices of .com domains increase. They must take into account our opinion as customers, it really does not benefit us and you just want to cheat us.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Raising .com prices?
by Jon Fox Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

So I got this email from Namecheap, pointing out all the metrics as to what ICANN and Verisign are about to do to the world of domain owners, particularly .com owners. This seems so greedy and ruthless to remove caps on prices just cause there could be more money. If the prices keep going up on .com domains I think there are tons of people who blog that will have to rethink the value of what they have at their websites and I would have to remove all my sites because of the rising costs. It is just a shame that the freedom of choosing a domain name under .com is about to turn into an expensive undertaking, many many websites will cease to exist and those customers will be lost forever. Where you would get the rich to remain, tons of websites may shut down and you may loose huge numbers of paying customers, don't see the wisdom in that. As I am trying to learn to grow my eCommerce website into a nice eBay alternative where I could just sell from my own, I never even gave it any thought when buying the theme and plugins needed, that one day we won't believe how much it is going cost yearly for the name. This just saddens me, I have been writing to www.jonpfox.com for several years now and enjoy not a ton but some pretty good visitors, I would have to take years of work down because everything offered there is free. Now after reading about this information from Namecheap I am saddened, so sick of greediness in this world, just makes it harder and harder for an average site owner to want to continue. Please keep price caps and stop wanting to be trillionaires.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by LaDonna Bubak Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I own a small business and a rate hike of over 30% for this service is outrageous. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.

I do not agree with the price increase of the .com domains, I have to increase the prices to my clients and run the risk of losing clients. -- Atentamente, Reynaldo González Rodríguez Director de Proyectos - Raptor Web
