@ Samuel, I've checked www.kenic.or.ke, and there are some registrars charging Kshs. 2,320 vat inclusive for a .ke. I have not seen the Kshs. 4,000 you are mentioning. Post the link, please! On 09/09/2009, Simeon Oriko <simeonoriko@yahoo.com> wrote:
Fellow skunks,
I hold this issue in very high regard.
Our friends at KENIC (http://www.kenic.or.ke) charge about KShs. 4000 for a .ke domain name. (Is it worth it compared to a .com domain name for KShs. 1000?)
It seemed reasonable at first when they said that the high cost was meant to recoup their investment. (...and I personally think that this is increasingly becoming an outdated excuse!)
Their website states that this would be the situation for two years, which, as you may have noticed, went by long ago.
I will word my request to you in a question: How, or rather, what strategy do we use to convince KENIC to reduce the price for a .ke domain name?
Over to you skunkers.
