I'm an optimist. I think that in the long term .com will get cheaper.

Sorry for hijacking, but is it possible to renew a domain for more than 10 years? Like get pay for 50 years in advance or something?

Only if inflation rises at a higher rate actually.

Technically you can register a .com domain name up to 10 years and renew an
existing one up to 9 years. Registrars like Network Solutions, though, came up
with a solution wherein they'll keep renewing the domain name yearly or so 'til
it reaches its 20-year or 100-year limit.

Although this may be true, a domain can only be registered for up to a total of 10 years. So what NetSol really does here is they register your domain for 10 years. Then, every new year, they extend your registration by 1 year for you until 100 years are up. So what this means is that every time they extend your registration, you will be paying whatever the new registration rate for that year is. NetSol already states in their TOS I believe that the price may vary on a 100 year registation depending upon what the registry charges, etc. However, because their price for registrations are rather hefty, you probably wont see any changes in price unless verisign is allowed to raise their prices sky high for some reason. Maybe long term there will be some kind of effect here where the price would change. I am sure 100 years from now, the domain prices will be much higher due to supply and demand or possibly lower. Only time can tell.
