Well written piece by Holly Jackson on the Yahoo story.
You should read it. Here is my favorite quote if you don’t have the time.
“Yahoo said the $25 price increase is primarily being instituted to match the cost of doing business, and that registering domains–the process of creating a new Web address–can cost even more with other Web sites.”
Me in pensive mood:
Yeah and pigs can fly. I guess it must be the increased cost of gas and increased price of corn and steel which drives domain price up from $9.95 to $34.95.
Thing is they reel you in at 10 bucks and then, in premeditated (and seemingly malice aforethought in the general sense) fashion, bump you to 34 after 12 months. Of course they don’t tell you that when you sign up.
By the way I am still waiting for them to respond to my emails.
