Why are .XXX so spendy? - GoFuckYourself.com

i see the proposed price at $60.00 or so. That is a bit steep compared to everyone else.

madawgz · 05-07-2006, 08:13 PM

because they know it will sell...

1 week 1,000,000 domains registered = 70,000,000$

But being 10 times any other TDL reaks of gouging

NewbieNudes · 05-07-2006, 08:16 PM

EXACTLY!

This is why we must oppose .XXX - it is proposed as a money making venture for ICM registry - that is the plain truth.

We don't want it - hell even the religious groups don't want it - Noone wants it!

Dirty Dane · 05-07-2006, 08:22 PM

supply/demand.. it will probably fall after some time when the better domains are gone

Not too steep if you become a professional poker player.

because $10 from each domain goes to IFFOR, that will give grants/donations to anti-porn, i mean child protection entities outside of adult.

The other $50-$65 goes towards "commissions", operational expenses, payments to ICANN, and of course, quick return on investment.

Fight the dot distribution!

see my ICANN post 2 years ago where ICM/Lawley was quote at $70-$75 per domain... and don't forget, "premium" .XXX domains will go up for sale via auction

Fight the .$$$!

$6.95 - to the registrar
$10 - to child protection purposes and safer roads
$15 - to lobbyists
$5 - to bribe debt
$5 - to lawyers
$5.75 - to build and restore churches
$X the rest will go to war against terrorism
