This landrush is different.

Try putting a one-character .dev domain in your cart (0.dev is available as of now). It's not a lump sum plus $12/year. It's thousands every year after registration.

In a way, I guess this is useful for deterring "domainers".

Even a 4-letter word or name .dev is hundreds of dollars a year. I wonder if the annual fee will drop as the days go by or just the purchase price.




They're called "premium domains". I think all new gTLDs have them.


It's not "deterring" domainers, it's asserting an unfair monopoly over the practice itself.
