Private Domain Registries (centralnic/co.cc/...)

[dotnom]

I see various private registries to promote their services and look pretty good for some end-users (unfortunately not too much for domainers so far)

I wonder if they do have a specific business model that reflect today's market

For example centralnic is the private domains dinosaur
They have the uk.com/us.com/eu.com/de.com to bring them the real money and don't care for the other extensions
They charge too much and i get the feeling of 'take it or leave it' attitude

co.cc is a new concept i really don't know if and how they're profitable (i see only donation option to their page)

What's your opinion ?

Waste of time and money IMHO.
Too many downsides and you depend on a single provider so your names could be terminated at will (remember web.com ?)
As for .co.cc well .cc already is struggling :]

Anyone else wants to add his opinion ?
