I'd have to see what the demand is.

Paying huge reg fees to sell 5 domains isn't great

For the reselling part, sort of. As you see in the pdf you linked, the domains are mainly handled by Sarek Oy. Visiting sarek.fi however, you can see that they have a large amount of ccTLDs. So, all of those can also be registered on Njalla, since sarek is only a front, they don't actually accept customers. For stuff like .com, .net, .org etc., yeah, they resell someone, ai think it was InternetBS.

I'm confused by this. You don't have to be ICANN accredited to sell ccTLDs? Sarek isn't listed as one https://www.icann.org/en/accredited-registrars

I only add to the things others already summarized brilliantly.

For some, yeah. As you can see on their website/comparing with the wikipedia cctld article for example, it still is a quite small amount relatively. There is a lot of difference between all the different institutions handling their country's respective TLD. Some are strict, some are very open, some love icann, some would like to get away as much as possible from them.

1 sek is around 0.1 usd

For that price, I'd hope blackjack and hookers are included.

Fees are fine, we just have to justify it with demand.

You know, Coinpayments used to (still does?) this thing where you can crowdfund new coins being supported. People pledge/pay in whatever and if it gets enough, they cover it.

Maybe we could try to do something like that. That, or we just get a large reseller that can bring enough to justify it.

1 sek is around 0.1 usd

Which makes it 1/2 of the fee for .ca for much smaller country

@Francisco said: I'd have to see what the demand is.

I think one thing with domains is that even if demand is low, A LOT of people have a few ccTLD's of various origin, and they'll be hesitant to move in their .com, .net, .org's etc unless their specific ccTLD is covered, making it hard without support for many of them

Could be wrong

kait

Probably easiest to see what the resellers have in their portfolio to see what the demand can be. And price the ccTLD (for example) accordingly to not run a huge loss, and then lower the price when demand goes up? @emgh thoughs?

Yeah, I would focus on getting the big traditional and cc TLDs first. Don't really care about .engineering or .exposed or .technology or whatever and the TLD companies of those notoriously suck.
You can look into supporting notoriously very lenient ccTLDs like .to, .sc, .st, .li, etc. Not many registrars have them.

I for sure ain't the normal customer, but I do agree. I have most of my domains (even niche one's) at one small provider, mainly because they do support almost all TLDs. It's nice to have everything in one place, and I wouldn't move somewhere else, if they hadn't got .re for example.

Edit: I feel like the text doesn't make sense somehow, but it probably does.

That's a great point Will have to take that into consideration and likely just budget a decent lump of cash to memebership fees every year then and let it be.

• We had some issues with DNS on the UK & NY cPanel nodes. Seems my scripts aren't syncing/configuring the cluster at provision time. This is fixed.
• Softaculous didn't pull its licenses so they were on 'Free' tier. This has now been fixed on all new nodes.
• Jetbackup is missing on UK/NY/LV04. This is known and being finished up today. I haven't been able to ansible that yet.

lmao, that is fucking amazing (and no, I didn't :^))
Now I ain't a Marketing guy, but I feel like putting that on Namecrane's homepage would boost sales by at least 69%, adding a lot of sex appeal.

I have been working as a freelancer for 16 years and I also want to find love and get married, but housing prices in big cities are too high. In the mainstream narrative and public opinion environment, a house is a necessity for marriage. Almost no young people stay in small counties. Urbanization has destroyed the marriages of young people of my generation. Many people empty their parents' wallets to become urban providers.

Sad to see that their won't anymore be any plans in the approximate $8 and $13 price categories.

Perhaps consider a $12/annual plan with, maybe, 5GB?

That would be up to Mike to decide

Francisco

Pass the suggestion to Mike for a lower price category in shared.
