The annual price of a .com or .net domain name will almost certainly rise this year, according to Stratton Sclavos, chief executive of VeriSign Inc, which runs the two namespaces.

Fuck me, even a small increase is going to HURT for large domain portfolio owners!

Logic dictates that prices should go south, but greed doesn't. What exactly are we going to get for the price increase anyways? More security, new infrastructure ..what? It's nothing but a money grab IMHO, ..a license to legally print money.

Damn I see people clipping part of their portfolio.

I wonder how much the increase will be.

Guess we better add some years to our
portfolio now to pay the current prices.

A rise of 7% on $6 means the wholesale price of a .com cannot rise to more than $6.42 per domain this year. For .net, the price could go up 10% from $4.25 to $4.67 per domain per year.

Yes, at 7% that's roughly $.46 cents for me, so that works out to be around $1,641.50 extra per year.

Then 7% the next year, and so forth.. It could get expensive.

Fuck VeriSign, fuck Stratton Sclavos, and especially fuck ICANN.

ICANN is supposed to be looking out for the public interest, and they are aren't doing their job.
