    <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 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?<br>
