Does anyone know how the “premium” renewal prices are set and governed? I’m going through this right now with .app domains (also owned by Google). Apparently domains categorized as “premium” have a much higher yearly pricing, and how it’s priced is not specified anywhere on the registry website. I called a few registrars and they said that the premium pricing is set by the registry. What’s concerning is that the registrars admitted that there really isn’t anything stopping the registry from increasing the premium pricing at will.

Anyone have anymore info about this? Seems concerning that a registry has no restrictions on what they can do with pricing after an individual has invested into an expensive domain.
