Such a shame that a high cost is charged for custom domain handling. Such a huge price increase. Originally for free. Yes that wasn't sustainable. But $75?? Y

You can buy a domain for $5pa
Free SSL using LetsEncrypt.
I get Medium are looking for a revenue model, but this is ridiculous.
Why not provide enterprise blogging or something they can charge enterprise for. Take on the Wordpress kingdom and get into big business.
- reacharavindh 10y agoDon't know if I'd pay $75 for custom domain Medium when there are Hugo, Ghost, Pelican and such free great alternatives for static blogs. But, man do I really wish my work bought something like Medium and replaced the cumbersome Wiki pages. My own Wiki pages are ugly and a pain to manage tables, images and text.

- munchbunny 10y agoThat honestly doesn't feel too bad. $75 is a pretty low price to pay if you care enough about the custom domain and the branding capability that comes with it. Perhaps they could tier it so that there's a "vanity" tier and a "branding" tier, that way people who really just want the vanity URL can have it for cheaper.
- ishyFishy 10y ago$75 is roughly 11,495 LKR here, so it's not really cheap for the rest of us on the far side of the world. :/
