I think they can still charge so much just because their name recognition is so strong. I tell everyone I can that there is a choice, and to shop around, but people still go with them because they know the names.</p> <p>-Brian</p> Wed, 25 Feb 2004 00:08:16 +0000 Netflavors comment 1146341 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/web-hosting-and-domain-names/domain-name-cost#comment-1146314 <p>Partly because there are a lot of people that don't know any better. I have used NetSol in the past but not only are they expensive, it is a pain to get a domain moved or transfered or any other changes made. I use GoDaddy, which has always worked well for me.</p> Tue, 24 Feb 2004 19:18:57 +0000 mairving comment 1146314 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/web-hosting-and-domain-names/domain-name-cost#comment-1146310 <p>Greed?</p> <p>Verisign/Network Solutions need to charge more because of their overhead and their mis-management (and they give up domains to strangers, too, they are really not very trustworthy in the least).</p> <p>Domains are as cheap as $6/year, btw.</p> Tue, 24 Feb 2004 18:56:16 +0000 Suzanne comment 1146310 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
