But then it sounds like the $89 is not the general price of the TLD but rather your site as determined by the rate on how the registrar's been receiving queries for your domain on their DNS servers. Can't you "reset" the price by transferring to another registrar?
- buckminster 8y agoNo, because it's not actually the resellers doing this. It's the people who own the tld doing the scammy pricing.
- jolmg 8y agoYou mean the registry has the registrars do that? Do registries even have view on the popularity of different domains below their TLD? I didn't realize that they received requests from resolvers that included second-level domains. I thought it was only the registrars that received that, not the registries, but I guess misunderstood DNS if so, because it makes sense.
- buckminster 8y agoIt's not popularity based. Everyone pays more to renew and it's a lot more than the initial price.
