I thought I knew a lot about the policies and expectations when it comes to domains. I was surprised to see 3rd level domains called out in the .name registry agreement and I’m stunned that ICANN allowed this. It’s incredibly one sided.

Both .com and .net are price controlled. I think for the rest of the gTLDs it would be allowed. There’s a lot of nuance to it. The registry agreement never mentions premium domains, only pricing rules, so being accurate about the rules t

It's almost impossible to judge based on the pricing alone. Paying top dollar doesn't guarantee anything extra and low prices don't always mean low quality service. $6.99 looks like a first year discount at dynadot with rene

Domain expiration is something that's more complicated than most people realize. As an example, I'm not sure if there's a definitive source stating that auto-renew grace is part of the ERRP. In my opinion it's not and
