[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] .info price caps
by Eric Koistinen April 26, 2019

April 26, 2019

Hello, I'm a librarian who uses the .info domain to showcase my ePortfolio for potential employers. Librarianship is a career path that many people do not necessarily go into for the money. As an information professional, I appreciate using the .info domain and my last name as a form of personal branding, but if I do not know what to expect with regards to pricing, I will probably switch my ePortfolio to a free option such as Google Sites if pricing becomes unreasonable/unstable. I do not look forward to migrating and "rebranding," but I will do this if prices are not kept in check. I think many other consumers will also look for alternative web presence options if price caps are eliminated. Please keep the current annual cap, as many who have purchased .info domains have already established expectations as consumers. Reading through the comments, many others have expressed similar concerns and also the potentially negative side effects this could have on shared knowledge and collaboration. Thank you,Eric

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] strongly against cap removal on info domains

Uncapped prices on info domains will unfairly affect private individuals who are unable to match fees that businesses can offer, forcing them to release long-owned personal domains.

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Please reconsider!
by Greg Asbell April 26, 2019

Domain vendors being free to raise rates drastically each year would be a disaster for internet users and content creators. It would encourage unscrupulous bulk domain name purchasing, lining the pockets of scammers at the expense of individuals and organizations who are trying to make a home for their work on the internet. It would needlessly strengthen the hand of the Facebooks, Amazons, and Googles of the internet but stifling anything smaller in the ecosystem.

Please keep the price cap on domain names, as removing the cap will create hardships for businesses and personal domain names. Thank you

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Price cap on .info, .org and .biz domains
by Ricardo Martins April 25, 2019

Please keep the price cap for domains folks. Most of registrars buys from bigger companies, and once you remove the price limit, the whole market will be impacted. Domain prices are already expensive for those who have a weak currency (different from USD). Thanks for taking this in consideration. Ricardo Martins

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] price-caps removed

I do not want to see price-caps removed the price increases would be unfair for no lucrative organizations . Legacy gTLDs aredifferent and should not be subject to price increases with no maximums.

ICANN should be aware that “market forces” and “free market” are misnomers to let controlling interests charge as much as they can reasonably get away with. Where the Internet has opened up to a free market, the consumer has usually suffered. Letting PIR charge whatever it wants can hardly be described as in the users best interest. Please reconsider this proposal.

by Blair at Neolith April 25, 2019

It's just greed driving this and the people pushing for it just want to take what others have worked for via a tax. I suspect his will only lead to a slight increase in revenue before everyone switches to another TLD. I expect the general masses of small to medium businesses to abandon .INFO for TLD's that don't demand ridiculous sums of money yearly. -- *Neolith Graphics Logo <https://ngprint.com>* *Blair Wolf* Administrator Neolith Graphics <https://ngprint.com> Blair(a)NGprint.com <mailto:Blair@ngprint.com> /"if it holds an image, we produce it"/ 2981 K St. San Diego, CA 92102 USA Direct: *+1 (702) 624-0498* Office: *+1 (702) 546-8338* skype: *blair_wolf* Blair on Twitter <https://twitter.com/Blair_Wolf>Blair on Linked in <https://www.linkedin.com/in/blairwolf>
