You know you already have mine.

I believe someone costed the £2.50 and Nominet can more than afford it. Especially with £110,000,000 (yes that 110 million) in storage in its bank.

Trouble is, we don't want to get a position where people are just renewing everything without a second thought. The whole extension will be stagnant with names not available and unused, this might be even worse if new websites can't get a foothold on even the most basic of reg fee name.

 

[LCHappy]

Surely only large portfolio holders would matter when doing this, but also not consider doing it because it's still going to be £2.50(£3 inc.) per domain, it soon adds up.

Large portfolio owners may benefit from higher prices if it means new started can get decentish reg fee names, if it leads to the ext being used more for active websites. Every active brand advertising a .co.uk or .UK is adding to the reputation of the ext.

I just mean that if we dropped it to £40p a name because Nominet can afford to do it at that price, there would be other consequences. Somewhere in the middle will be a sweet spot where people get the max benefit out of it.

I think it was more the EGM. I can't remember if it was announced before or after, but I believe it had more to do with that.

I only have about 30 names, so wasn't a big help to me. I would like to see more of them though.

There's a Nominet Board election open right now (voting closes end of the month) and I'm standing and so asking for your vote.

Your style reminds me a lot of someone else who Acorners regret backing.
