Thanks you helped a lot. I've also heard about a diff. renewal fee for premium domains, is this true ? How's the fee calculated exactly ?

premi's typically have higher renewal fees, and that fee is specific to a certain premi domain


for instance "business.tv" renewal fee could be $500 a year, while "boxing.tv" renewal fee could be $200...it depends on the name.

but i believe all premium .tv names now have same renewal fee as regular .tv names, depending on registrar.


check to be sure though

We don't have any premium .TV yet but thanks for your explanation. I asked because we were planning to buy one and it's beter knowing in advance how things works
I've instead just used dynadot for an hand reg (our first .TV), nothing special of course.

Ah sure .TV is a great TLD for strong premium keywords.

DomainMonster.com usually charges around $23 a year for dot tv domain renewals

To clarify.

There are two different premium .tv domains right now 1) legacy premium 2) reg fee premiums. Biggie is right to say that all premium .tv names (EXCEPT legacy premiums) now have the same renewal fee as regular .tv names.. here on out as of March 2010. The difference is that the legacy premium domain name holders still must pay the registration fee they are locked in at (which in some cases may be hundreds or thousands of dollars each year). If a legacy premium name is dropped, which was the case with sports.tv at $100k/yr. So, it will get caught by a name/dynadot registrar and repriced as a premium name to become available for registration at name.com or dynadot registrars.

In March 2010, Verisign released a majority of the remaining premium names to be registered at regular registration fee, which the lowest at the time was $20-$25. Some were still held back and are available to register for price ranges from $200 upto at least $3300 (which is the most expensive one I've seen recently, pictures.tv). Many premiums have been and continue to be registered for a single premium price. Once the name is in your account, it's yours for regular renewal fee there on out.

.... Anyway back to the topic :lol: I guess name.com and dynadot are cheapest to register at $10.99. Godaddy/domainmonster cheapest to renew.. averages out pretty much the same.

Godaddy charges $40 to renew with them unless you have a renewal code. Godaddy is probably one of the most expensive domain registration places out there, which is why I dont understand why they have so many customers.
