I recently ran an analysis for https://hostingchecker.com and we found more than 144 million registered active .com domain names.

Zonefiles.io also have a database and it says currently there are 144,072,905 registered .com domain names.

Multiply this number by the annual .com fee and you will get a very high number.

You are not supposed to be a corporation and push your profits to the maximum but rather keep the internet safe and accessible place to all.

How do you justify the increase in the .com domain names price? What is this huge budget spend on? How was it possible to run the organization 10 years ago when

the domain names were significantly lower amount?

My opinion is that the price should not only stay the same but even decrease over time with more people buying .com domains.

Please share a link of a document where the increase is justified by numbers.
