I read an article this morning that perhaps should change our thinking about registering further dot.com domain names as it seems that there is to be significant increases in prices.
Although the article is dated November 2018, it seems that the increases will commence in 2021/2022.
Shares of VeriSign Inc. rocketed toward an 18-year high Friday morning, after the domain-names and internet-security company disclosed that it reached an agreement with ICANN to raise prices for “dot-com” names.
Auty said that according to the agreement, the first price increase on “.com” can go through in 2021, with the effect of the increases not being fully reflected until 2022.
I'm not sure whether all of those domain investors who continue to register these domain extensions are aware of these increases or if it just doesn't matter to them.
My own view is that maybe the new domain extensions will gather pace in the next couple of years as we all realise that we don't have to be as regimented in our choices and that that every dot.cloud has a silver.lining.
