[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comments on proposed price increases
by Real People Press Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

As a small business, every little charge affects our bottom line and our sustainability. The proposed change to allow .com wholesale domain prices to grow by more than 70% over the next decade doesn’t harm large corporations so much, but does affect mom and pop businesses like ours. Please reconsider allowing .com domains to increase in price by leaps and bounds beyond the pace of inflation. If some price increase is necessary for domain infrastructure, that is reasonable. But if it is merely to drive profits, it does so on the backs of hardworking small business owners and their employees.

by Mike Martinez Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I think it’s absolutely horrendous that you negotiate behind closed doors to increase prices for .com registrations which will make it difficult for small business to remain viable in an internet heavy industry. I think it’s imperative to maintain an accessible pricing structure to allow for innovation and growth within the internet ecosphere even for brick and mortar stores. Please do work with companies such as Namecheap to maintain prices affordable for the future of mine and other small businesses. Thanks, Mike Martinez

by Danielle Hines Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Please don’t make these changes. I’m a small business owner and every penny counts. You will put out of business those who are your customer base. If pricing increases too much you will force other avenues for small businesses, which may destroy your business model. I own 4 small businesses and help other businesses get established. I can personally attest to these fees and I will be among those that suggest getting a .com in the future might not be worth the cost. Please reconsider! Danielle D.Hines 301-728-6833

I have registered several .com domains. I am writing to register my opposition to the proposed price increase to these domains. The current rates are fair and just, and should not be altered.

by kaila sachse Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To Whom It May Concern, The decision to raise .COM prices without a clear reason for why and without public vote is not only predatory but unethical. The internet should remain a place of open knowledge exchange without biased interests in control. For the sake of our future, please reconsider your decisions that adversely affect the market and therefore all individuals who work hard to make the internet a place of attaining helpful information.

by Soulscape Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am opposed to the secret backroom deal that Icann made with Verisign allowing virtually endless high increases to .com prices. You made this backroom deal without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users, needlessly jacking up costs for individuals and small businesses everywhere. That is completely wrong, and you need to reverse this decision now.

I am a registrant of 3 .com domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. I strongly oppose this move. The current rate is already justified, it does not have to keep increasing. Verisign has no business dictating the price. It is unreal. I am very unhappy with this! No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. Other GTLDS have been able to lower costs. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Gina Casazza

This means the scum of the earth types like hugedomains.com will be able to make even more money on their unethical domain squatting practices and make the internet less open overall. Aside from praying everyday that the entirety of hugedomains and their data centers are burned to oblivion in hellfire, you can make sure that the internet stays an equal playing field for all by not letting .com domains go up in price.
