Dollars gotten cheaper over the years, I wonder what the price would be today if .coms increased with inflation.
> meaning that within 10 years, .COM domains could cost approximately 70% more than the current wholesale price of $7.85
Seems reasonable over 10y period?
- konschubert 7y agoNo, inflation isn't 5% a year in consumer prices.
- jonas21 7y agoThe current price cap has been in place since 2012, so prices will increase by 70% over the 19 year period from 2012 to 2031. That works out to roughly 2.9% per year, which is a bit above the current US overall inflation rate of 2.3%, but less than the US housing inflation rate of 3.2% [1]. I don't have an opinion on whether domain prices should increase with inflation, but the increase does seem to be in line with it.

- gowld 7y agoThe cost to provide a domain name drops dramatically every year, like everything else in computing.
- colejohnson66 7y agoIt seems reasonable, but what about 40 years down the road. Hopefully, we’ll have moved onto something better, but I doubt it.
