Stupid expensive for what really?
- mtmail 8y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19179465 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19179465 suggests it's an ICAAN rule to charge higher prices on initial offering. 444 comments a couple of days ago in "Google .dev domain early access" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19178757 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19178757
- barbecue_sauce 8y agoThey get progressively cheaper as we approach February 28. After that, I believe registrations are free with a $12 maintenance cost.
- CydeWeys 8y agoMinor correction, registrations are never free. Come 2019-02-28 16:00:00Z, they will be available at the base price. Registrars set their own prices, so depending on which registrar you're using, expect that to be around $12-20/yr (including the initial year).
- kickopotomus 8y agoDo you happen to have a source for the 16:00 UTC base price switch? I am not seeing a specific time on any of the linked pages.

- swebs 8y ago>free with a $12 maintenance cost So $12?
- barbecue_sauce 8y agoFree in the sense that there is no initial up-front cost (compared to the pre-sale pricing). Everything else is an initial dollar amount ($11,500, $3,500, $1,150, etc.) in addition to the $12 maintenance cost. After February 28th, there is no up-front cost but there is still a maintenance cost.
