for .nets (up from $3.85).
Registrars, as they did after last year's price hike,
will pass the higher costs along to their customers
- in other words you. Even worse, judging from
what happened last time, many registrars will take the
opportunity to charge more for all extensions -
not just coms and nets, so owners of other TLDs will get
hit too.
Domain
owners continue to be under assault from every
direction, including in the U.S. Congress where
predators hope to change the law of the land via the
proposed Snowe
bill so they can more easily take away
domain assets outright. Yet many domain owners continue
to fiddle while Rome burns. If you don't want to
fight for you assets be assured that you will
lose them. The only other viable option currently on the
table is to join other domain owners in the Internet
Commerce Association and go on the
offensive in what is shaping up as the biggest land
grab in recent business history.
