About the .SUCKS domain
What is the .SUCKS domain?
This extension's launch drew notable controversy over its pricing strategy: during the Sunrise period, trademark holders had to pay up to $2,000 per registration (compared to the usual $100-200 of other new extensions like .coffee or .wedding), leading a US senator to describe the extension to ICANN as "little more than a predatory shakedown scheme" aimed at getting businesses to spend large sums on defensive registrations. For those who didn't register during Sunrise, a subsidized $9.95 rate existed for qualifying consumer advocacy associations, while the general public wanting to use the extension for their own site typically pays $249 per year, unless the name is labeled "premium," in which case the price can be higher.
