[kictanet] Fwd: Promotion for registration of .africa at 200 KES

[Mark Elkins]

Hi Ali,

The AFRICA renewal fee. I charge R299 for renewals, just over US$22. Its 
that price regardless of whether is was purchased as a Premium or a 
special sale price. Its also the price of a regularly purchased new 
domain. When we started charging for CO.ZA - the price was R200 and that 
was 20+ years ago - so the AFRICA price is not that out of scope. If you 
are buying directly from the Registry - the price is obviously less, but 
my markup is not that high. The XYZ domains were at one time being sold 
for under US$1 - but who honestly can expect that to be the ongoing 
(renewal) price. The current pricing is clearly advertised as being a 
Sale or special price - "Asante Promotion" (Thank you promotion). The 
practise is also quite common in the Domain Name marketing world. Has 
not .KE also done this at times?
