How do google justify charging £1000 a year in the first place though? It's so much higher than most other domains.



Certain domain names are in high demand. What more justification is needed?


Google gets more money, and a domain name investor would have bought up all common words instantly if they were normal priced. Like a lot of people have held on to .com domains for decades with no intention of doing anything except selling them as an investment.


The parent said it was a premium domain. Think cars.dev or similar.


Is money and we like money lol -- Google
