If the demand is high (or perceived to be high), then the cost is.
I paid $75 a year for my .ly domain because it fits nicely with the business name.

Not easy to get the more exotic domains cheaply, I pay a premium for a .tv domain. TryOriginally posted by reddog View PostHi - I am looking at registering either a .cv (Cape Verde) or .is (Iceland) domain name. The only place I seem to be able to do this is 101domain.com , which is very expensive relative to a normal .com or .co.uk
Anyone got any suggestions where I can register these for a fair price (say £20 per year ideally)
