Volumes of domain sales are up, services benefit hugely from economies of scale, yet somehow you think it's ok to increase prices and quite dramatically so. Well, it's not ok! Firstly, since you are running a de-facto monopoly for .com domains, you must be fully transparent in all you actions. There is no tolerance for underhanded secret deals, so man up and share all the details. Secondly, because domain users are pretty much bound by the addresses they use, it is imperative that you show respect and do not engage in abuse of your clients' situation. No one is denying you an income, but becoming greedy will be the downfall of any organisation that engages in such practice. I urge you to reconsider your course of action and am looking forward to you feedback. thank you Roland Giesler
