I'm on the fence. But I would add that the low renewal price of .com domains makes the prices asked for many domains unrealistic. Because they see an opportunity to just sit on the domain and gamble that it might become more valuable.
People want a thousand dollars for long, not great domains. If the renewal was higher, I think "market price" would be a little closer to market.
Perhaps a higher initial fee and then renewals would remain the same. Then at least it would discourage future squatting without putting a burden on small time users.
- lozaning 7y agoLet's make every new .com cost 1 million dollars to register, so prohibitivly expensive that we can be sure that CocaCola can get newcokeflavor.com whenever they decide they want to buy it, and TacoBell can get any iteration of [dorritosflavor]tacos.com whenever they need it. Still onboard? Or, what if instead of all of us paying verisign more money for zero additional value, Coke just pays a million to whoever happens to own newcoke.com if they decide they want that domain?
