<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>
