Domain registrations should remain affordable for those of us without commercial revenue. Your charge is to protect the not-for-profits and individuals, not to increase revenue for the middlemen who sell our domains.

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Proposed price increases for domain registrations
by Loose Drag April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Please don’t increase domain registration prices. Domain names are the last bastion of entrepreneurship. If acquiring a domain name becomes an expensive proposition, who knows what good, new, life-changing idea may never see the light of day? Give good value for services rendered, and don’t become a usurper “because you can”. The entrepreneur needs, demands, an affordable entry into business. A domain name is that good start. Keep it accessible to the common person, please. Cordially, Rex Anderson

Removing price caps on .info domains is an invitation for holding domains hostage through price gouging in the future. Rick Atkinson

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] keeping greed in check
by Charles April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I see the continuing raise of domain pricing extremely unfair in two respects: 1. Nearly all domain registrations occur without human intervention. There is no further labor charge to purchase a domain name. 2. As domain sales (quantities sold) continue to increase with no end in sight and because of #1 above, the profits will only continue to grow. Much like the "mass production" in the past helped to reduce pricing of manufactured goods, the same should be happening in the domain world. Please keep the greed in check. Thank you!

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Price caps for .info domains
by Terry Inder April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Pleas e add my name to the list of those who oppose removal of price caps. Let keep the Internet as accessible as possible to everyone and beneficial to all . More importantly lets not allow anyone to stifle the growth of domains that promote both business and personal agendas by allowing any organization unlimited pricing. Terry Inder

Allowing an uncapped increase in domain price will allow the few markets that control these domains to widely spike prices beyond reasonable increases. This will inevitably make renewals, or even new purchases, harder for people to justify and could lead to a decrease in overall usage. Please keep the 10% annual cap. Adam

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] I disagree with the price change
by James Watt April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

The price of buying *some* top level domains has skyrocketed exponentially. In most businesses, 3-5% is a reasonable amount to raise prices each year. How is it that ICANN needs to raise prices by more than 10% each year??? It's ridiculous and preposterous. I do not support the proposed price changes. Sincerely, James Watt Cheswick, Pennsylvania, USA

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] .info AGAINST price unlimited increases
by John Isenhour April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

As the owner of a .info domain, I am concerned that having unlimited price increases will have an adverse effect on our community. Many of us are individuals with non profit intentions and this would make us vulnerable. Registrants of legacy TLDs should have stable pricing with the ability to predict costs, price increases with no maximums are a threat to stability and business continuity for small businesses or individuals.
