Domain registration in the US is a mess. I can't get my head around it. I prefer the system we have in Brazil.
In Brazil there is a non-profit organization that administers the .br TLD. All domains sold are sold through this entity (registro.br). After registration you just insert your DNS IP addresses and that's it. No worries and no complex transfer process.
- ars 14y agoSo basically you prefer a monopoly? We had that in the US many years ago, but people preferred competition.
- dudus 14y agoIf it is a non-profit company part of the government. So yes I'm not just ok but I prefer that way. Basic services like water and electricity are usually monopolies in several cities and people are ok with that.

- troels 14y agoWe have a similar system here in Denmark, and a domain costs about $10, so the price is not because of the system.
- lzm 14y agoThey actually cost $15 USD/yr. In fact, the price has decreased over the years. [1] [1] https://registro.br/dominio/valor.html https://registro.br/dominio/valor.html
