Normally, when you search for a domain name — let’s use, for example, demo1234demo456.com — you’ll find that it costs roughly $24 (the actual price is $23.99).

If you click on the small link explaining “premium domains,” it states that the price is set by the seller. What they don’t explain is that sometimes the seller is GoDaddy itself.
My guess is that GoDaddy assumed my domain was valuable and snatched it up to resell at a higher price than the standard renewal fee.

@NetscapeNavigator The domain registrars are corrupt. I use Cloudflare and Porkbun because they are reasonable.

Any domain I own that I think is worth anything, I moved outside the United States, and that includes domain registers too.

@NetscapeNavigator Smart move. I’m preparing to do this myself.
