Cost of domain names...?

[Arvind Yadav]

Why is there such a wide difference in the cost of domain names...?

 

[Mr. Deleted]

You mean at registrars? Or in the aftermarket?

Well they all have to make a profit, so they will set thier own price they can do business at, and keep your names safe. Some people, myself included would pay extra to keep any high-value names safe for the long term. But then of course there are others that simply rather price them high (20-30 dollars a name) without any extra security. That can get expensive when you have many names to renew.

Again, that is up to the owners, but sometimes you can make offers. That does not mean low balling them with a 10 dollar offer on a 100K name. Make it resonable. But research the name first. I had a guy that bought a name he thought was a perfect name for a parenting site, but turned out to be a term used for adult content too. He had paid over 2000 for the name.

The average cost of domains would be around the same but some domain registrars would like to charge different percentage of profit and so there is a difference in the pricing for domains. Some of the Resellers charge according to their will and it is more than the market price. Also if domains are purchased in bulk then the pricing of the domain is different. Thus there is difference in the pricing of domains.

Hi,

I agree with with Mr. Deleted, the prices change because Resellers have to make some profit. I think what's important is that your domain is secure, that's why getting a free domain is usually not a good idea because if someone wants the domain you have and are willing to pay for it, then the can give your domain to that person or ask you to pay for it, then it becomes a bidding game.
