Until 1995, Domain Name Registrations Were Free
Today there are over 148,344,875 domains currently registered and this number is growing very rapidly. Until 1995 domain name registration was free but in 1995, Network Solutions was granted the authority to start charging for domain names and it would charge $100 for 2 years of registration and then the price dropped to $70 in 1997. Domain registrations prices have dropped considerably since the ICANN (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) was formed to control domain registrations.
