Not true. CF claims it is $8.03. Let’s say it’s $7.85 + .18 tax or something.
You don’t deal with the registry. You deal with a registrar. Just as they can charge a markup, they can give a discount.
Registration could be free. It would mean a loss of $7.85/$8.03 per year. Maybe they make it up by selling ads on your domain. Maybe they use it as a loss leader service.
There is no floor.
Even CF’s at cost pricing loses them money. It’s not free to maintain the services.
