@darknessends yeah but imagine how much prince.ng or ministry.ng would be worth it ;-)
I was not able to find a proper .ng tld registrar other than 101Domains , all others are offering Secondlevel Domains (.com.ng/.net.ng so on) ..
Possibly the crazy price is after M$ bought bi.ng
lol
Yes, and yet Microsoft is not using it as primary. Just forward it.
@darknessends for Microsoft $40k is nothing.
Looks like they don;t accept any 2 char registrations anymore . Just did a search and its saying "Domain is too short"
IT industry is one of the worst scams.
You will have to email 101 directly and ask for 2 char pricing.
TLDs are a scam now and you can see on 101's page that all these "new" TLDs rolling out are indeed that - a way for countries and registries to make easy money
The $40k probably includes a bribe to the Nigerian officials to create a TLD
.ng is a scam? Who would have guessed?
haha , possibly
Someone already bought hosti.ng...
fcuk .pr 1,400.00/year
1400 pessos?
Single character .ws
$50,000US/yr

Also .nf is $1235US/yr
"Extension"? I've thought it's called TLD. :P
no, that's $
The most I ever paid for a domain was $57.76 for 2 years... renewal on that domain was $654.40 though so I'm glad I sold it.
@KuJoe
I am curious now
@BronzeByte 2x.nu, I registered it for the normal .nu price but Namecheap then contacted me to inform me that it would need to be renewed at the "premium price" (for 2 character domains). You can still register it on Namecheap for $57.76 it looks like, not sure if it will work or not though.
IIRC .bg used to be $100 / Year. Now it is "only" 30 EUR / Year. Screw monopoly.
Single-character .tt domains are $3000 for 3 years for people outside Trinidad/Tobago.
