Having just jumped from Google to Nameheap this is more than mildly frustrating.

    Aside from the obvious fighting and bidding over an already claimed single domain name, what factors into the inherent pricing of a domain?

      The domain registry (basically owner of the domain ending) sets the price.

      Edit: Though it should be mentioned there’s a power above them (ICANN) that has to approve the price.
