So if you register a .dev with say Gandi, will Google be able to pull these shenanigans on you, or do they have to honour the standard renewal price?

- agwa 4y agoYes, they can pull the shenanigans. Registries (like Google for .dev, Verisign for .com/.net) set the pricing for domains under their TLDs. Registrars like Gandi add just a very slim markup.
- mrkurt 4y agoIf I'm reading the Gandi cart right to renew "fly.dev", yes they can pull these shenanigans. It's showing $780 to renew. I can't tell if that's one year or not.
- endigma 4y agoPresumably fly will be keeping `fly.dev` around? Perhaps you're in a good place to make a fuss about this given your commercial usage of a "cool" .dev domain.
- iampims 4y agoHow much is Gandi’s markup? I’d bet it’s the same couple of dollars they charge for regular domains. I suspect Google is pocketing 99% of that price hike.
- berkut 4y agoI have some .dev with namecheap, and it's showing me $16.98 to add a new year for all of the ones I have, and I can go up to 9 years (only 8 for one of them interestingly), so I don't think this is all .dev domains, likely just premium ones.
