10% per year is much, though. Even with this it's an unreasonable price hike.

- jopsen 7y agoFor domain names it feels kind of double edged sword. Higher prices cost you money, but keeps the domain sharks a little further away. Keeping domain sharks away is nice.
- gorgoiler 7y agoYou don’t need high base pricing to keep domain sharks away. Some throwaway alternatives that are less workable, but already seem fairer: You could limit numbers of domains per entity, or increment the price for each new domain you buy. If you try to buy a domain using a company with human directors it is 10x the price. If you buy a domain with non-person owners (e.g. a shell company) then its 100x. As an aside: I wish more things were taxed or priced higher based on the obscurity of the entity purchasing the item. It’s no cakewalk, but it still feels too easy for those with the resources to use company and legal structures to be able to act with a disproportionate lack of public scrutiny.
