I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. This increase is unjust. Anjum Aziz Leipzig, Saxony Germany Sent from my iPhone

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Vote AGAINST Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Brianna Feb. 8, 2020

Feb. 8, 2020

This is an unrealistic expectation for small businesses and especially for individuals who use .COM domains. Up until very recently .COM has been the most widely used TLD for the average person, and, on top of that, the costs of other TLDs, including the more newly released ones, have begun at higher rates and usually are intended for more niche industries/sectors, or just simply too expensive for the average person to commit to the yearly cost increases. Additionally, the idea that if a person or business cannot afford these proposed increases, there is an expectation that they will just... change their domain? What about those of us who have had these domains for over 5-10 years and have built a brand or lots of other materials all with these specific domains? We're supposed to let the domain go and let a larger company who can afford the increases take the domain and benefit from the traffic/audience that has already been established? This seems really backwards, and certainly with all these new TLDs at much higher costs, those profits surely can offset the costs of infrastructure changes as ICANN works to improve security and the like. At the very least there needs to be some sort of waiver program for those of us who are individuals/small businesses that cannot expect to be able to afford constant increases, and especially if we use them for non-commercial purposes.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Unreasonable increase of price
by Swashata Ghosh Feb. 8, 2020

Feb. 8, 2020

I don't understand the reason of why it should be increased. The technology cost couldn't have increased over the years. If the cost of .com cannot be decreased, then it shouldn't be increased too. It will totally block accessibility of domains for newbies, nonprofits or start-ups. Back in 2010, I started my blog and the only thing I had to pay for was the domain name. At that time, it was something around $8.9. It might sound nothing to me right now, but at that point, being a student, I had to loan that from my parents. Are you saying people will have more blocker to buying a domain after a decade? This is very bad and I am pretty sure it profits only a handful of companies.

I am a registrant of several .com domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. Verisign should not hold a monopoly on managing .com domain names. In fact, monopolies are illegal most places. Why do you allow them to get away with this? The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. In fact, it should be much cheaper. Verisign should not be making 300% + profits from this monopoly. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Not for the benefit of one company's shareholders. Prices should be lowered, not raised, on .com domains and other TLDs. The prices are already far too high and there's no justification to raise them further. Brad Shaw Costa del Sol, Spain

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] About the price increment on .com domains
by Chiu Yau Feb. 8, 2020

Feb. 8, 2020

Dear Sir, or Madam, I am a domain investor and I. T. technician working currently in China. I have lots of experiences on registering and selling .com and other extensions. Nowadays, .com registering fees are quite high to most domainer. But, with the traditional status of .com, it has a high value of a premium name of .com, this is the advantage and why .com could stand the first in all extensions of all these years. I think cheap and meaningful and good-looking new TLD has more attractive than limited and old ( tradition ) .com TLD, as most of the best and good-looking .com has been registered in all these years, which beginner or business could not get the domain name the symbolize themselves, they and I started to use and put attention on new and creative TLD. For some new and creative TLD, it could have up to million of combination of name which are creative, such as who.is, fan.cy and more than those mentioned. The .com status in Domain Market Place has get lower and lower then before due to the rise of new and creative TLD coming up these years. In this case, .com should lower it register price, provides more opportunity for domainer to register .com and make great and excellent deal / trade of the .com, more and more people would try to register more .com to try to make a great deal or for their use, and the renewal fee of .com is also expensive, as I have more than 1000+ .com extension to renew every year. And, In personally, I would try to give up most of the invest on .com but turn to more on new and creative TLD if .com keep on rising its renewal and register price, which most of more domainer friends would do so. In conclusion, I would like to ask ICANN and VeriSign to not to make increment on .com registration. Regards, Chiu Yau YTC NETWORK ( HONG KONG )

I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. Verisign is a manager of the .COM Registry that already makes profits at current price levels in excess of the operating needs. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.
