This association competence be peaceful to compensate $12,500 for a new second turn domain name - Who would pay over ten grand for a new second level domain name? A lot of people were in shock last week when GoDaddy unveiled its pricing for Donuts’ Early Access Program registrations.

We’re starting to get a better idea of how new top level domain name registries are going to price domain names. It appears many are taking the .TV approach, essentially pricing out any value domainers can get from registering the domains and selling them (if there is much value to capture to begin with). We’re also seeing niche domain priced ... read more ...
