I was recently informed by namecheap.com (my domain registrar) that ICANN made changes in secret with Verisign, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users that effects the .com domain pricing. As a small business owner that operates on very low margins this has an impact on my business. I would like to know exactly why these price increases are being put in place and what benefit, as a small business owner, it will have to me. I'm sure the general "the cost to run these services goes up every year" will be one of the reasons, but I would think in the face of ever decreasing prices in technology, this doesn't justify the significant increase in pricing that appears to have been put in place. I can see a 10% increase which would be a significant revenue increase considering how many .com domains there are. But....according to namecheap.com the price could increase by as much as 70% over the next 10 years. That, to me, is just way too much. Jason Kulhanek Owner of Oolution Technologies
