Verisign is greedy once more: .com and .net fees go up

Like any commodity (put domains in to that equation) any time there is an increase at the wholesale level it is passed on to the consumer.

The registry has to stay within the US for obvious political reasons.

I dont' consider the US to be the moral fibre of the world.
I agree India and China weren't best examples.

I think Norway is a safe pair of hands, Sweden etc

But the US want to run everything. Including SPACE
Time to make the dunce stand in the corner :smilewinkgrin:

I would say move everything out to Switzerland or may be Japan , Japan is far more advanced than USA and one of the most peaceful countries in the world

Japan don't have a good 'peaceful track record

Switzerland are rotten throughout. Yeah they have stayed 'neutral'
In the same way someone watches someone get mugged and then picks the money up off the floor afterwards. They are still holding billions worth of Nazi money, along with just about every other criminal in worlds.
Not great choices old bud :smilewinkgrin:

I said "political"; not moral reasons.
China already has threatened to split off the Internet.

Does anyone know where I can find .info, .us, .biz or .org wholesale rates? Did any of those increase in tandom with .com and .net?

Wholesale? If you mean registTRY rates, check out ICANN/correspondence.

Read my latest blog entry about a different approach to domains and pennies.

that is a good blog entry and I agree with it. kevin ham said domaining is still at its baby stages, it's turning into a huge business.and it will only get bigger when more people get involved.that means alot of money to spread around.

.....nothing we can do about it that I'm aware of.

You could do what I am doing about the ongoing increases by looking at all your domains closely and let lots of them expire which (1) earn poor revenue (but keep most names earning more than $6-yr is my arbitrary guideline), (2) get low or no traffic, (3) unreg'd in most other extensions (some exceptions only if I have the .com or .org). My goal is to trim my far too large portfolio by at least 1/3 this year. In addition, I have sharply curtailed both reg'ing new names and buying in the after-market.

ICANN is really the problem. Verisign is a for profit company doing what any for profit company tries to do, make more money. ICANN a supposedly non profit entity seems to be anything but that.
