new gtlds .88 cent domains : How many are you buying?

[offthehandle]

just like most of you, I got the email from .whatever registry today about the big .xyz sale. It suggests registering phone numbers, number sequences, IOT appliances, anything really anything. Billions of combinations. Lol.

 

[Acroplex]

On a serious note, does anyone know if the registry costs are fixed or there is a variable cost aspect to it?

They state that the price is going to be $0.99 on that trash, but still, doesn't each domain add some amount to variable through hardware and support?

I don't think it costs anywhere near $1 billion a year to store 10 characters of data and process requests on 1 billion names. [I'm exaggerating on 10 chars.]

If anything, it's based more on queries... where the most active names cost resources and the inactive names cost nothing.

So are you saying extra 1MM names don't add opex of $1MM a year, at least? Remember that $1MM revenue would have to be split with registrars too.

Let's give 1 billion names 1 mb of storage each. (pretty unlikely high, right?)

So you've got to deal with this 1 billion mb of data.
Let's convert to GB cause that's how everyone charges for storage.
1 billion mb => 1 million gb

Let's round up and say AWS is doing it super cheap... Instead of $0.02 per gig, you hate AWS and build your own and you to pay $0.10 per gig per month of storage.

1 million gb * $0.10 storage per month * 12 months in a year = $1,200,000 a year in storage costs.

That leaves you $998,800,000 to split with the registrars.


Unless I'm missing a zero or few somewhere, it seems ok.

Forget about billion... There are not enough fools with money in the industry for that kind.

Million is possible. It is not just bytes. See that the registries have millions a year in overhead. By your logic, their cost would be in tens/hundreds of thousands...

It does not cost them anywhere near $1 a name on a technology front to store a name. There's just next to no cost in storage, I think that's well proven in any math example. The cost on housing 10 million names is not even a fraction of $10 million more than the cost of house 1 million names.

Queries do have a cost ... again, something like Google.com and Apple.com have an exponentially higher technology cost than does 878881.xyz and every xyz 6N combined.

Being a registrar and having staff are all costs... But the more inactive names a registry has, the lower the cost per name.

just like most of you, I got the email from .whatever registry today about the big .xyz sale.

Where? Among my 40+ registrars I got ZERO promo emails today, including that I signed up for notification from AYDACFU : confused :

This is only a promo for 6 7 8 9 numerics? Existing renewals if that exists for a promo price would be of interest to me. Plus there are 99 cent promos for all xyz all year until Dec 31st so this is pretty lame.
