If I remember correctly, domains used to cost around $78 to register.
When the price dropped dramatically, there was discussion on Slashdot about the effects. Most thought it was great ("hey, I, a poor college student, can get a domain now!"), but there was speculation it would lead to more domain parking.

- hartpuff 10y agoDomains used to cost $0 to register. Edit: LOL Which idiot downvoted this? The chronic lack of basic tech/internet knowledge among some people here is ridiculous. In 1995, the NSF authorized NSI to begin charging registrants an annual fee, for the first-time since the domain's inception. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.com
