I don't think there really are that many examples where $10 domains (registered in the last couple years) were a key to success. I'd be sincerely interested to hear examples where that was the case.
Most people who are genuinely prepared to put effort into building a business would be willing and able to spend a bit of money. Maybe $500/yr is too high (I think so) but I seriously doubt $100/year would stop anyone who was at all serious.
- citricsquid 15y agoWhat do you define as success? For me success is once something becomes self-sustaining (paying the employees wages etc.) and I can name quite a lot of people I work with today that would not be in the position they are now (living off their websites) if domains were $500. Maybe my world view is skewed because I spend a lot of my time around people that build sites as hobbies that turn into businesses and not true startups like Instagram or Twitter. I forget the persons name, but just last week a hackernews user posted about their top 400 (I think it was 400?) US website that they started in high school as a hobby, I doubt they would have started that if domains were priced at $500.
