The domain names are rented. I remember $12 .com renewals on GoDaddy, now it's $18, Cloudflare charges about $8 for renewals. The registrars always use dependent customers and play with pricing.
I have got a domain hack hal.al last year from host.al, the payment for the registration was done, and I got a confirmation for the domain ownership. After 2-3 days I got an email saying that it is a premium domain and I need to pay $2k to get the ownership. So it's always tricky to purchase a domain, you never own it

- pie_flavor 4y agoAs the article mentions: > It's important to note that registries for country-code TLDs (which is every 2-letter TLD) do not have enforceable registry agreements with ICANN. Instead, they are governed by their respective countries (or similar political entities), which can do as they please. They can sucker you in with a low price and then hold your domain hostage when it gets popular.
