how much they cost at this point of time is irrelevant. And no point asking how much will they cost when they come up for renewal as no one knows.
Interesting.
There seems to be a potential for the agency hiring out domains to be effectively monopolise a given successful domain. i hire out a domain foo.bar(and pay say 10$ U.S per year for it) it is an instant hit and i make a decent pile of cash from it it every year. My agreement/plan says foo.baris mine for say 2 years, after two years it is well known foo.bar is a cash cow. Therefore what stops agency hiring out domains to say ``O.K, this year it will cost you 10,000$ U.S, if you no pay, we give someone else - comprende".
Dangerous. Its as if the the guys controlling the domain can effectively cyber squat his own customer. Has anyone faced such a situaltion?
