.name/.fm Domains

[Raf]

I've looked around recently for services that offer .name domain extensions and I found they offer something like a 2nd Level, and 3rd level. What this this exactly mean though?

Also I was looking around for .fm domain extensions and I found that some services charge by how many characters you have like 3+, or 4+ characters. Why is such a domain name charged for how many characters you have?

If someone is able to answer this question I would really appreciate it, I'm just curious as to why some services do such a thing. :hehe:

2nd level .name ===> smith.name
3rd level .name ===> john.smith.name (and jane.smith.name would be another registration)

.name started out offering only 3rd level registrations, and only this year allowed 2nd level.

As for .fm, you'll find that other cctlds also have unusual pricing. One example that comes to mind is .tv, where they have identified the premium and super-premium names, and require exorbitant amounts for such names.
