In my usual tour of technology sites, I found an article (photo report) talking about the most expensive domains in the world. Something told me that Africa (as always) would be involved in these statistics.
Well, the guess was right and the country with the most expensive domain in the world is the Namibia.
To get an idea, whoever wants to have the domain www.menosfios.na will have to pay approximately 4300 USD, yes, four thousand and three hundred US dollars for a “simple” domain.
As we can not believe without confirming the sources, I decided to go after Namibian companies that register domains. To my astonishment, the situation is worse!
One of the companies indicated is the http://www.info.na/, I simulated paying for a domain “.at”And look how beautiful, they have two prices, one for Namibian citizens and one for foreigners. For example:
- www.menosfios.na for a Namibian citizen would cost around 590 USD / year.
- www.menosfios.na for an Angolan citizen (I, in the case) would cost around 7000 USD / year.
Angolans, see this on the positive side, so it becomes difficult for that famous kudurist to obtain a domain na na and become a celebrity on the Web.
