.FEEDBACK - Avoid, its a trap!
Hi, I just went to register a .feedback domain, cuz it was costing 1$ every year and i got 1 for 10 years, for 14.95$... (ICAN Fees, bla bla bla).
Here is the catch: I wanted to point it to cloudflare, for easier managment of DNS records, but here what it says:
It is possible to configure a .FEEDBACK domain name so that it is delegated in the DNS to the provided nameservers; these domains are called "self-service" domains.
Self-service domains are subject to an additional fee.
The additional FEE is 840$/YEAR !!!
So you could understand my shock when i saw 8400$ to be paid lol !!!
Website were i registered the domain: Internet.bs
I asked for a refund, lets see how it goes....
Thanked by 1yekta

Dude..., why would you want to register such a TLD...
People want short TLD because they can't be arsed to type longer.
apart for the very cheap cost, I wanted to use it for a feedback form, not an actual standalone domain.
You can always charge back with a reason of "Buyer's remorse".
Of course, you will lose the domain but I assume you don't want it anymore.
Yeap, I already asked for a refund, lets see how it goes. I don't want to chargeback yet from paypal.
who is the register?
I registered it on Internet.bs ( internetbs.net )
I believe this is how .feedback works (i.e. the nature of their scam), no matter which registrar.
.feedback tells you this specifically.
Yeah, register has no power in how TLDs operate.
