No investor should own a premium .store

One-letter .ws domains have a renewal price of over 10 million dollars per year.

Yikes! Even Amazon doesn't want a.ws.

Well, I had it in my cart and was about to checkout, but later thought, may be I will pass on it this time...

It would be interesting to get a list for cost of renewal for all extensions.

This shit is also hurting domain sales as no matter if you're selling a .COM or .CA, I still get inquiries on whether it has a premium for renewal. I just got a similar one yesterday and had to assure them there are no premium renewals on this domain or TLD.

Just that little niggle of doubt can stop a potential buyer from making an offer.

It doesn’t help that they call these domains premium and premium renewals.
