<p>Hi Ali,<br>
</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://CO.ZA" target="_blank">CO.ZA</a> - 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?<br>

best thing for .Africa to do is to be transparent on the
renewal fee. Can you imagine if I'm to make .africa my
primary domain name because of this offer and the renewal is

know so they can make an informed decision.</div>
