- CydeWeys 4y agoI think they're referring to the Early Access Program, which was a one-time pre-launch Dutch auction in advance of general availability. Note that that is orthogonal to a domain being premium or not. During the last day of EAP, you might have seen the price of a non-premium domain be something like $130+12/yr. Whereas for a ~$70/yr premium domain, it'd have been something like $130+70/yr. Regardless, forum.dev was registered in 2021 (you can confirm via WHOIS), which was long after the Early Access Program for .dev ended in 2019.
- daveevad 4y agoYou stated here that they paid $850 to initially register the domain name. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33929354 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33929354 Do you have proof of the initial price paid for registration or is this in some part speculation?
- oefrha 4y agoAccording to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33929472 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33929472 they checked in their system that the domain was billed as premium upon initial registration.
