I can go on and on... Lubeca 01-25-2005, 03:40 PM 100 dollars a year is not silly - it's about average for small registries serving small communities (whether small in terms of actual population, or small in terms of Internet infrastructure). Look at any small island ccTLD (other than those that pretend to be GTLDs) and you will find that average prices are from 50 dollars upwards. You can't compare small ccTLDs with .com (or large country ccTLDs like .de) PS I know Syria is not an island - but it's a small community Internet-wise. hossamsoft 01-26-2005, 06:29 AM Hi , thanx this is great but 100 $ is too muh for me and as you say the site is always down i guess i will not reg this domain .. yes Syria is big country but net is not larg community Internet-wise .. my best regards slydus 01-26-2005, 11:55 AM Well, not always down, but downtime is quite common for STE site. And yes, I believe $100.0/year is overpriced considering the average income in Syria. hossamsoft 01-26-2005, 01:32 PM slydus thanx but 100 $ is too much as you said i think for that no one unless 3 or 4 site take this domain .. regards |
