The very problem with even your own question is clarity and meaning.
The term "Premium Domain" actually has multiple definitions both subjective and technical.
You really should clarify what you're asking by listing the specific domain in question.
Here are some (probably not all) meanings of "Premium domain"
1- For ngTLD domains, most new domain extension
registries have set aside sub-sets of domains that they consider and have labelled as Premium. Which means that the
TLD registry charges
the registrars (like internet.bs and GoDaddy) a higher amount for these domains, who in turn have no choice but to charge more for these domains than they do regular domains.
The higher "premium" charges could be:
A) A one time initial price with regular renewal prices.
B) A fixed same higher price for both initial purchase and renewals.
C) A premium higher initial price, plus higher than normal renewals.
Note that these "premium" amounts differ for each ngTLD and often times there are even multiple different premium pricing tiers for the same ngTLD.
Each
registrar always markups up their prices on top of their base wholesale cost from the
registries, so prices certainly could be different between different registrars, but it's important to remember that the decision to make a particular ngTLD domain "Premium" is a decision made by the
registry and NOT
registrars.
2- The various domain aftermarkets also use the term "premium" with various segments of domains .. usually nothing to do with the actual quality of domains.
For example, GoDaddy aftermarket effectively labels all non-auction aftermarket domains as "Premium". There is no quality control or minimum requirements to get the title "Premium" in this case.
Another example is right here in the NamePros sales forums where sellers tell people the domain they are selling is "premium", even if 95% of the time the domain is completely worthless.
Another form of this 2nd definition of Premium, is when domains listed at Sedo or Afternic or similar reseller platforms go into syndication on various partner registrars. In some of those cases there may or may not be a further markup. Basically meaning that if you list your domain at Sedo, their MLS system makes the domain available at multiple registrars who take the price given to them by Sedo, and then also
sometimes put an extra amount for their own profit.
At the end of the day you really need to ignore the term "premium" if trying to assess the actual quality of the domain, as most of the time the "premium" label is completely arbitrary and more a marketing gimmick.
If a ngTLD domain is available for hand registration and labelled "premium", then it's the
registry, and usually nothing to do with the actual
registrar where you are buying the domain. So there are fixed base amounts already set by the
registry, however, additional markup amounts can vary between
registrars, particularly for higher priced "premium" domains. So definitely shop around between
registrars, but at the end of the day a "premium ngTLD" will always be more expensive than "non-premium ngTLD" domains.
Also note that the premium list for each ngTLD can change over time, as can the initial and renewal amounts. These are all arbitrary decisions from the different registries who own the ngTLDs in question.
===============
You have a lot of negative comments. Generally, it does not look good. I'm surprised that you have licenses. Additionally, you take documents from your clients! What is the law? Do you want to tell me that they have such "restrictions" in Bahamas? Kidding me?
@owuha ... You are making a lot of negative insinuations again internet.bs clearly without being very informed yourself. I've never used them, so can't vouch for them either way if they are good or not, but I heavily recommend you stop being so negative against a company before you've fully informed yourself.
