I think you have done that yourself by registering 2000+ domain names which i highly doubt your making money of all of them. Although if you are making $10 on each domain you will lose a bit if income, but it wont be out of your own pocket as the $10 will cover it. Its only a $1-2 increase so its not going to affect you that much...

I have not done it. The Icann has.
And it is not just me.

But, thanks for your doubts and reply's

So you own 2,000 domains, and you yourself say that you are making more than $10/year off of each domain, on average. If you're making $20 per domain, on average, then your domains are bringing in $40,000 every year. $20/year is a conservative estimate. Anybody who owns as many domains as you should very well be making $50 or more per year off of them.

If the price of a domain goes up $0.50 (what this thread states), then you are only spending an extra $1,000/year where you're making $40,000 - $100,000 ($20 - $50 per domain)

Again, for somebody who owns a ton of domains, this is just a drop in the bucket

All I'm saying is that a $0.50 increase on domain prices shouldn't matter to anybody...Unless domains are going up $3 or more, I see no cause for alarm.

And as such it does effect me. By how much etc I did not discuss.

Ps. my wholesale price is: .com $7.15
(from $6,75)

Every $ counts in my eyes and is worth many other domains I can buy.

The money I have been making has directly been re-invested.

I agree. If you're in the website building business, domain prices are almost a non-issue. It's not uncommon for webmasters to build a website, promote it, and then sell it for well over $1,000. $10 of that spent on a domain is nothing.

Now, if you're in the domain business, margins are typically slimmer and you are probably into "flipping" lots of domains quickly instead of building a few of them over the long run. If you're doing that, then domain price is more important...but I still don't think that they're even close to expensive for that either.

while going up 50c a domain isn't that much, if your primary business goods have a cost price increase, it's going to affect your bottom line, i think that is the underling issue here.
If you look at it from another perspective, they have 30mill+ domains registed (from memory - haven't checked the offical stats for a while), at 50c a domain, that's going to be an extra 15mill a year for verisign, how much of that do you think is going to be added to their botton line instead of going back into the domain system ?

also higher costs usally mean less inventments.
