    Unhappy .info more than .com?

    I was just at name.com looking for a domain availability and typed in my choice and discovered they are charging $9.99 for .info now. Could this be a mistake? mg:
    whateverdomainiwant.com $8.99 / 1 yr
    whateverdomainiwant.net * $5.99 / 1 yr
    whateverdomainiwant.org $7.99 / 1 yr
    whateverdomainiwant.tv $35.00 / 1 yr
    whateverdomainiwant.info $9.99 / 1 yr
    whateverdomainiwant.biz $7.99 / 1 yr
    whateverdomainiwant.name $7.99 / 1 yr

    In case you don't know:

    .INFO renewal prices are the same, and maybe a higher in some places than .COM.

    The reason you are probably thinking this is a mistake is because GoDaddy and what not sells for .99 a pop?

    Well yeah, cheap to reg, expensive to renew.

    All the promos are probably just over.

    Yeah, usually .com, .net, .org and .info are the 'popular' domains....

    All depends on the registrar I guess.

    At Godaddy they are like $1.5 or something...

    that is strange that the inital reg fee is up to $9.99 at name.com.

    Looks like GoDaddy still has them at $1.20 for new registrations.
    SEOVB had a hissy fit like a little bitch for not being able to follow the rules!

    Godaddy loves to promo the tld's that other registrars don't.
    Plus of course, the renewals will be a killer at godaddy.

    And face it, .info's have the reputation as scammers favorite to register.

    Possibly why Godaddy makes so much?

    I would bet that Godaddy gets WAY MORE .info regs than name.com....perhaps why they are so rich and the "domain newbies" favorite registrar?

    You work for godaddy and know their financials?

    All registrars pay the same.
    So godaddy will take a loss on these, knowing a good amount will probably renew at the high rates.
    The old loss leader ploy.

    No but its safe to say that GoDaddy gets a lot of domain name registrations for all types over others, therefore they probably do get way more .info registrations than other companies.

    Sources: RegistrarSTATS.com - Registrar and Domain name statistics and 2007 ICANN Registrar Statistics

    Just wondering why name.com bumped theirs up so high. I have bought .info from them before at 2.99 from memory, I'd have to look it up, but I am 99.9% certain that is what I paid.

    Yup, it was 2.99 only a few months ago, as I remember snagging a few when I switched from GoMommy.com(YES, that is a REAL domain...just look!) to Name.com.....
