That’s right $1,000 a year. Joe Styler posted a thread on Namepros about the ICANN comment period regarding Verisign increasing prices on .com.
Namepros member Keith who is an active domain investor took a contrarian approach if he was not trolling everyone.
Keith left two comments
An interesting take, $1,000 a year would be ridiculous and certainly is not justified. $1,000 a year would be a real cost to a small company that say owned a name for their site and a couple others for marketing like call to action domain names.
The funniest comment I got over this whole ICANN commenting, was someone who told me to “Fuck off!!! I own Verisign stock and call options.”
if it would put namepros out of business I would support it. That take was better than the stupid poem thread.
Prices do go up everywhere else, this peculiar community believes they should never be subject to price increases?
$1K is not feasible, but $15?
Will domain investors lower or freeze their prices?
.com maintenance costs under $4 USD per domain but they still have 3 USD profit on each .com registration then why we would make someone so rich.
Verisign has a shady agreement over .com operations but ICANN should conduct a public auction.
Keith is a serial low baller, he should save his advice for the lowball offers he makes, if he has so much to pay for renewals, he should offer it with his buy requests hey ketih.tv
Not $1000, but atleast $100/year.
People will think twice before registering pigeon shit domains.
what a Jealous Loser. IN MY OPINION this guy is an unhappy hater. keith must have missed the boat on domain names and now wants everyone to lose aswell.
Everytime I see a blog post or video from that guy he is always giving horrible advice. I don’t get it. He’s horrible at pricing domains, and everytime I see him try to sell his domains that are pure junk and not worth reg fee.
I don’t believe you have the right person. Keith does not blog.
Yeah he does, he blogs on Doron’s site sometimes
No he does not, that’s Keith DeBoer https://www.namepros.com/members/keith-deboer.963631/
Not @keith
opps thought that was the same Keith, my bad.
Fuck this clown.
keith known by me to be provoking and hollow. That’s all that’s left on namepros. Those suck-ups, trolls, and delusional. Any truthful outlook and analysis is shut down, user banned. You can’t warn anyone of anything there or many blogs, especially dnn. Everything is moderated to uphold the scams, the many that are going down.
I’ve been trying to warn of FBI looking HARD into domains, and warning of more and more coming. My comments don’t get published. Those that are corrupt don’t like the corruption exposed.
That comment is out there, then I saw the bogus statement on np that you have to sign up here to comment.
ICANN needs to go, a better system is needed and better oversight.
ICANN needs better governance.
It’s a California charity entrusted with governing the world’s most important digital assets.
Go read that thread and you see along with the gd – uni thread, namepros has the dumbest commenters in the biz.
People talking about $1,000 .coms, others thinking Frankie sold for $10m. They are a bunch of hobbyists who would be better off playing bingo.
