Comment on 'An affront to dignity': The system allowing people with disability to be paid $6 an hour

  I paid $1.80 for my first domain (which was a .lol TLD, a little obscure but worked for me). It’s now renewing at $26, though. The more well known ones are a fair bit more expensive though, and rarely have introductory sales. There are a lot of random weird domains nobody’s ever heard of that only renew for a few bucks a year on going though.

  It wouldn’t work for a Lemmy instance, unless you don’t mind changing instances every year, but you could theoretically get domains for less than a dollar for at least a few decades by constantly changing domains every time you’re due for a renewal, to make the most of the introductory discounts lots of them have

    Nah just find a registrar that doesn’t charge beyond ICANN fees. Should be ~$12 per year or so for .com. Won’t get any crazy introductory rates but you won’t get rate hiked down the road either. Cloudflare does this. Porkbun too and actually it looks like they are doing a promo of $7 for the first year right now.

    Looking at it .lol just goes for $23 in general, which iirc is set by the central registry of each tld
