That's frustrating! No it's the company that resells .tc domains. They have complete control over the costs of them. For instance ICANN handle the base .com/.net/.org pricing and nominet handle .co.uk,.org.uk etc. So you're saying if nominet started charging £3000 for a .co.uk renewal they'd be perfectly within their rights? Hmm, doesn't seem right to me!

Whether it is right or not is irrelevant, you have no entitlement to set a company's prices - they can charge what they like.

Whether they get any buyers at that price is another question.

I will caveat this with in a monopolistic situation there may be some intervention but this will not be the case in your example.

Looking online all those offering TC TLD are currently offering much lower prices than what you are looking at.

You may be better off switching to a reseller as it appears the wholesale prices havent gone up but you may just be delaying the inevitable
