Verisign Revises .TV Premium Offering, Sedo to Auction Premium .TVs
Verisign, the operator of the .TV registry, has revised the pricing of over 23,000 .TV domains and removed the higher annual renewal fees, so owners of premium domains registered after March 19, 2010 will only be paying the standard .TV renewal rate going forward. It appears that this new rate is however not extended to pre-existing owners of premium .TV domains. eNom has posted the list of new .TV premium prices on their website.
Sedo will be running a premium .TV auction from April 1-8, 2010 – the domains sold in this auction will also have the standard renewal fees, as Mark Klein (Director of Business Development at Sedo), who set up the auction with Verisign, told DNN.
.TV is the country code (ccTLD) for Tuvalu, but is marketed internationally.
