For the same reason as the sari-sari 10millions of licenses you need is the sole reason for zero advancement in the Philippines.

China did the change long ago, it’s simple… in a world were we are slave of the state(income tax), until the state got is s**t together, they better of letting the slave feed themselves.

By the way I have created also some article regarding .edu.ph domain. If your interested you might check this link that I have created.

http://www.eyewebmaster.com/blog/how-to-purchase-a-edu-ph-domain-names/

I have a website now and was registered free.the domain name extension is .co.cc, which i find hard to remember.

Im currently looking out to register my site with .com .net, second choices are .biz or ,info

what would you guys recommend?

budget? maybe from US$5-10

cheers!

Most of the cool sounding names (domain hacks) are already taken including mor.ph, gly.ph, nym.ph,, oom.ph. Pero karamihan wala naman mga laman sayang lang.

Napansin ko lang, medyo mabagal site ng dotph, I think they should reinvest some of their “extra” income into better server infrastructure.

To be honest, $35 is not so bad really, considering the weakening dollar, but dotph should definitely follow the exact exchange rate and give discounts to those who register a domain for 2 years or more. I mean come on, they keep on displaying $35 for 1 year, $70 for 2 years, I can do the kindergarten math myself! Just remove the $70 if there isn’t gonna be any discount for a 2 year registration.

One good example of .ph’s brand impact and exclusivity is technogra.ph. Having a .ph domain is like driving a bmw or mercedes while a .com is like driving your average car.

but going back, ayokong maging mas mababa pa sa .com and price ng .ph. siguro pwede na ang Php1000, that’s roughly about $25 per 1 year. well, that’s just me.

Promo: 1000 if you bought 2 domains

Check out my post about the dotme domains.

Late last year there was an authoritative discussion in the US that suggested registrars ‘break even’ at about $1 USD per year. The rest is profit and ICANN fees. If a company with the overheads and advertising expense of, say, Godaddy can make money … big money … at $10USD per year any well-run Filipino company can make money at 600 phP … more than $14 USD.

The US suffered from this same monopoly price gouging for years until the sole right was taken away from Network Solutions … and guess what, NetSol still makes money at the low, more reasonable rates.

This should be worked out in reasonable negotiation between members of a democracy, not in slanging and vitriol, but worked out it should be … or so this resident kano opines.

The cheaper they set the price, the more people will avail of them. So kahit dun makakabawi pa rin naman sila kung anumang investment ginawa nila.
