I see a lot of extensions going into a "premium" craziness. Everything short and everything being a dictionary word now becomes premium, and often pretty expensive. This seems to change a little things, doesn't it? One recent example among others: kub.co is a great domain which expired recently. It's an especially great name as it's related to "kubernetes", a container system quite popular and gaining traction.
The registration is "premium" and of more than $1000 everywhere. Meaning that I would have been advised to contact the previous owner, propose him $500 and have him NOT let the domain expire!?
There seem to be 2 different schools when it comes to premium: There are the registries jacking up the registration price with a normal renewal price and the ones jacking both prices up. For the first ones, it seems to encourage the selling (and buying!) of names before expiration, and not let them expire. It also kills the backorder game. Any thoughts?
