I can't see anyone wanting to switch their primary domain to .host when the renewal is ~4x that of a standard tld.

Expensive renewal indeed, and will probably be mainly used by spammy kiddy hosts anyway. Say what you want, but .com and .net are still king and just look better from a consumer's standpoint.

That's exactly my thoughts; I don't think consumers really care about the providers tld, as long as they get the product. 


On a side note, it looks like this tld is $70+ plus with other registrars :/

How I see things and have, however alt domains are really gaining traction.  .com domains have gone way up in price.  I remember like $6.50 a year, years back, now common registrars are cranked up past $14.


Alt domains burn my bridge with their premium pricing for key domain names and short ones.


Something different and free can't be beat.  Try it and if flops, meh, don't renew.

Hello.


Does that auto renew on the 2nd year? Anyhow its looks like a bad idea as anyone can register a good .host domain just because its free and drop after 1 year.

I don't think that for a business company any tld matter unless they provide good service and support

I  have a .info, which I use because it sounds better than the matching .com (which I also own, and which redirects to the .info). I have to have the .com because some people assume it is a .com. One guy first repeated it as [name].com, and when we corrected him, repeated it as [name].info.com

I do not know why the renewal of .HOST is so expensive.

Because they can.  Like most digital goods, there is no compelling reason for things to cost more than a few dollars per year.
