But If dotPH was to lower the price, then foreigners who have invested in it could've bought 5 times their domains. Some went as far as investing $18,000 (Thats one person only), so imagine their domination on our PH if it was lowered to .COM price. And if they do lower the price, it might be people purchasing and parking it up so the quality of the development will just be worse. I believe that the price of .PH will only fall if most or all of their premium generic domain names are registered. But for that to happen, that means we need to develop and encourage other developers to make .PH websites popular to really get things going. @Fisher & Aris: I do agree that .PH is expensive (I was shocked at first as well).

People are now mining on 2 word generic keyword domains, hence the drop of price. @Fisher: That’s right, but if you search for .IN domain names, you’ll notice that most of the premium generic domain names (if not all) are already taken.

I don't understand why our own country selling its domain 150% higher than a dominating .com .net and .org extension dotPH really need to act with this to encourage web developer here in Philippines to buy it’s own extension. I a call for an online revolution “dotPH CUT OFF PRICE MOVEMENT” What do you think Francis? @fisher this right!

I still do not understand why dotPH is charging $35 per year for regs.. If only dotPH help their fellow countrymen and encourage web development by giving them a break with affordable domain registrations. With more websites developed in the dotPH, it is them who will win in the long run. Analogy here is the cellphone plan prices. When telcos opted for wholesale pricing on their plans, usage ans subscriptions increased and more profits to the phone companies. Domains are not being manufactured with any materials like commodities. At these prices, the registrations mostly goes to foreigners who can readily afford them due to favorable currency exchange rates but just sit around with them keeping them undeveloped.
