    For those of you who bought domain names when it was 99$/year

    do you still have to pay that much per year?

    or do you pay what they are offering now?

              Domains can be easily transferred to another, cheaper registrar

                  I paid $100 a year via Netsol and, in fact, have an invoice in front of me from June 29, 1996 when I had to renew my domain for $100. "Internic" was the name, of course. It was lowered to $70 for 2 years after a while. I still have few domains there and while they advertise them for $35 per year, I pay about the same as I'd pay at GoDaddy.

                  Back then we had to wait a month for the site to be added and the DNS to work.

                  Oh yeah, bandwidth was $12.50 a gig, too.

                              Yep, that was the cost. I had a colo and had to pay a fee of $250 a month plus the bandwidth charges. There weren't a whole lot of choices for adult hosts back then either.

                              Back then The Hun listed backdoors in paysites, not galleries. Want to guess what I had to pay for a single day from that?! It was a good lesson learned about closing directories!

                              But, in those days, you could post a single photo to Usenet and get 50 signups to your paysite every day for a week or more.

                                  It was $100 for 2 years, and then it was lowered to $35/year and then competition entered which plumetted the rates, thankfully.

                                                      ahhh the days of $100 dollar domains ad $1500.00 a month for your own dedicated T1 because there were very little datacenters like today and none of them wanted adult so you had to have your own T-1 to do what you wanted.

                                                      I remember those days like it was 1994 - 1997 again

                                                          Actually it remained at $35 at Netsol. Tho they do have a discount at $19/year if you renew for 100 years

                                                              One major PPC sponsor at the time, and I still have one of their banners in my archives. Of course, they folded without a word, owing a lot of us money, then resurfaced a year later and are now one og the largest sponsor programs.

                                                              I remember doing a few bucks a day then my site was on the Howard Stern Show and all of a sudden it was up to a hundred a day before dropping off a week or so later.

                                                              BTW, nice to see you resurrected from the dead.
