    What is the base price of a .com domain?

    Hi,

    I've never really known the answer to this. I am wondering what the base price of a .com is. I know they recently raised the prices. I know some registrars take .com as a LOSS LEADER and charge under what they are being charged.

    Disregarding the registrars fees, including transactions and credit fees, how much does a .com cost the registrar (including the ICANN FEE)

    Do they share this info? I've never seen it published. Is it based on amount sold?

    I believe the wholesale price of .com domains is $7.52 including the ICANN fee as of July
    Always take a scientific approach. Check the facts.
    If you don't know how to check? Ask until you find someone that does know

    ICANN receives 18 cents or 20 cents - depends on the agreement the registrar signed (older agreement - 20 cents). The registry keeps $7.34
    It pays well running a monopoly.
