I run a tiny carpooling site (not for profit) snowpool.org . If they turned around and upped the fees to 3K a year or something, it would basically force me to shut the service down.
This is an incredibly awful move, I'm completely astounded that it was allowed to happen.
- chii 7y agoif there's money to doing something, it will happen. Why not just move to a different domain, and while your old one is still "cheap", do a redirect etc?
- patrickdavey 7y agoBecause I've built up a presence over 10 years of running the site, so, I'm not just about to move! It'd be a huge pain to move probably hundreds of email addresses over to a new domain etc too (I sign up with [domain]@snowpool.org) It completely depends on what they do, I've renewed for 10 years so I have time now, if they put the fees to >500 a year then I'll definitely move. Do you own a domain yourself that people have been using for 10 years? You might feel differently about the ease of "just moving"
