What makes a name "premium"?
- gorkemcetin 4y agoThere are no clear rules, hence it is an arbitrary decision by the registrar.
- CogitoCogito 4y agoI guess clear rules disallowing registrars from charging different prices for different domains are called for.
- CogitoCogito 4y agoCan't edit so I'll reply. Just saw this post: > And to be clear, premium prices are set at the registry (i.e. wholesale) level, not at the registrar (i.e. retail) level. That means that these names are premium at all registrars. Premium pricing is not unique to Google (either the registry or registrar); it's used by nearly all new gTLDs. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33929615 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33929615 That's not as bad as I thought.
