I decided to eliminate that one by becoming my own registrar. And that's one less man in the middle siphoning money off of me.
- josefresco 7y agoThat seems like an expensive and time consuming solution, unless you have many, many domains. https://www.quora.com/How-much-does-it-cost-to-become-an-ICANN-registrar https://www.quora.com/How-much-does-it-cost-to-become-an-ICA...
- eyegor 7y agoHow does that work?
- newscracker 7y agoQuite interesting. How did you do that and what did it take (cost, time, effort)? NearlyFreeSpeech.net started off on this a couple of years ago, and it seems like this is a very costly proposition (something like $80K for accreditation?) that also takes a lot of time.
- clarry 7y agoThe trick is to forgo ICANN scam and go with a ccTLD. With TRAFICOM (ex FICORA), it was a matter of filling a form. There could have been a small nominal fee but if there was, it must have been very low (under 100 eur).
- thiht 7y agoHow's that even possible? I cannot imagine how you could convince a registry to do this. Maybe a gTLD registry?
