Re: Namecheap now offer .io domains
#12I've never heard of namecheap, but given their name I'm surprised they charge so much more than gandi.net ($39). Is it normal for a company branded as the low cost provider to charge above market for rare goods?
At least I would not be surprised if that would be the case... like those red and white "SALE" stickers that some shops have at their windows during the whole year, while being actually more expensive than other shops.

Re: Namecheap now offer .io domains
#14I like the .io TLD but it seems like Namecheap and others haven't really done much to make it cheaper. I can't see myself paying more than $30 a year for a single domain registration, so I've simply used other TLDs when I've had opportunities to register a domain for a project. If .io was cheaper I'd buy a couple of domains in a heartbeat, though.
The upside is that the higher price may be inhibiting squatting and thus you're more likely to find a good name available.

And Gandi isn't that cheap to begin with...
Really curious not trying to be snarky, I have some projects I'd like to put on that domain for fun but $40 or more dollars isn't worth it.

I have no idea what io is or why the people at ICANN or wherever are allowing all these new subdomains. Its clearly a cash grab by all involved and the registrars are feeling out the market value of yet another vanity domain. I'm sure it'll settle into a more crowd-friendly price. Not sure what the point is. Just more domains businesses need to worry about. I'm sure Disney doesn't want some random jackass to own Disney.io.

namecheap is my preferred vendor and is generally cheap, as the name suggests. Their interface is great and their customer service tends to be pretty good. They're miles ahead of other popular registrars like godaddy and netsol. I have no idea what io is or why the people at ICANN or wherever are allowing all these new subdomains.
