> Are there any "safe" gTLDs AFAIK there are zero guarantees. I think .com might have some pricing obligations, but all the good .coms are taken. Don’t rely on ICANN. They’ve proven they don’t care about registrants with the .org debacle and when they let Uniregistry raise the price of domains for _existing_ registrants. Donuts reclassifies domains to premium, but I’ve only ever seen it after a domain expires. Donuts raised some prices a few years ago, but let existing registrants keep their pricing AFAIK. Assume there’s strength in numbers. Any attempt to increase prices drastically on .com, .net, or .org should result in a lot of backlash. I also consider .dev and .app safe, or at least safer than the rest, because I don’t think Google is looking to turn a huge profit with them. They’re some of the most reasonably priced too. The new TLDs could have been awesome if the registries weren’t so short sighted. They’re priced way too high to foster wide adoption. They should all be ~$10/year IMO.
