Hey NP,
We are noticing an unusual/unexplained issue with .CO domain names. Many domains registered (as standard/common domains at regular pricing) have suddenly switched to Premium pricing.
This is frustrating, obviously, and had the domains been premium (even with huge first year discounting), they likely would not have been registered-at least not by me!
I completely understand the registry's ability and right to modify their costs. Having said that, it seems borderline-unethical to re-shuffle premium domain status to existing domains-sold under the pretense of a non-premium pricing tier.
Here's a small sample of the names which have switched overnight. Nothing particularly mind-blowing about these names.

Is this common practice from registries? I am interested to hear from the community, as I've never heard of this before.
