I agree it's terrible and as the things now are, only reasonable solutions I see is either increasing the amount of the "good" domains or just making the renewal price somehow cumulative the more domains you own. But I don't think there is any central authority or entity that could enforce that effectively hence things are what they are.
- yetihehe 6y ago> making the renewal price somehow cumulative the more domains you own Without good way to attribute ownership of thoe domains, they would just split them into different shell companies.
- tekkk 6y agoSure, but it makes it harder and you could still pursue them for tax avoidance which is a risk a larger company can't really take. There is certainly bureaucracy involved but in theory it could be possible, it is just who could even enforce such law.
- marcus_holmes 6y agoThe answer was all the shiny new TLD's we got. Well, big companies got because they cost 100K each (iirc). But in principle we all got. And to some extent that worked - if "yourfavouritename.com" is taken (it is) then you can have "yourfavouritename.tech" or whatever. But there's this superstition about ".com" names in the business, that they're just more authoritative and people won't trust a ".tech" domain. And it does leave you open to someone else buying the ".com" later and giving you a problem. But at least you can get a domain and launch the business, which is something.
