Joel Disini’s Response to dot PH Pricing

Again from Abe, a brief commentary from Joel Disini on dot PH pricing:

First of all, DotPH pricing at $35/year is the retail price. The wholesale price is a lot cheaper, and goes as low as $15/year, depending on your volume of registrations. This has been the case as far back as 2000, when very few ccTLDs were selling below the $35 level. The Registrar prices are located here:

As you can see, the discounts begin once you have at least 12 domains to register.

So it might make sense for some of you to join forces, and buy in bulk - so you can enjoy larger discounts - or work with one of our existing Registrars. We have over 150 Registrars - practically every ISP in the Philippines and Webhosting company is a Registrar. (Now whether they wish to pass on the discounts to you - that is entirely another matter).

Any feedback?
