But making domains too expensive will mean there would be less websites and it should not be expensive for people that want a personal website or even want to expand a business online, It would be discriminating against people that can't invest that sort of money into a personal or even a business website.
I myself wouldn't pay out $100+ for a domain and i don't think that many people would want to.
I also agree that big companies offer too much and it adds to people's expectations, It's odd because some hosting companies charge stupid prices like $20 pm for 500MB's space, but they advertise more and get people that don't know they can get a better deal elsewhere. Whereas these companies that oversell are doing the opposite. Do you get what i mean?

that is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard ! have you even considered just how fast the internet is growing ? it is IMPOSSIBLE, and i mean IMPOSSIBLE to stem the rush.
Think about it, .com domains are the most popular domains, and yet that is only because they are afforable, how many .tv domains do you see ?
all you would do by raising the .com domains price is de-value it, and something cheaper lke .net or .info would rise and take its place. simple as that, your view is a little naive anyway, the point of the internet is universal access and communication, its just as much some little kids internet as it is yours.
maybe they should solve this problem by having an international authority that regulated the internet ( to a degree ) based upon an internationally agreed upon set of rules.

They have as much right as I do to the Internet, but they should also have to pay the same price that I do.
why would they waste it, again you generalise...
and of course it would de-value the .com domains as the most used extension, people are always gonna go cheaper and the cheaper will become more and more widely used until it is more popular than .com and you have the same issue all over again.
I agree. It seems to me thatmost companies consist of one person. That person works as support as salles etc. I think that all forums are plenty of them. They provide low prices and crazy oversell.This is one way, I too find out! All sick hosts are too lazy to even make their own website, let alone how bad or good it is. They dont even bother to change the pre-defined prices. Just replace "YOUR COMPANY NAME" with theirs and go!
Thats not the way to go about. If they are lazy to make themselves a template, then... their support services too will be too lazy and slow, apart from their servers!
