OT: Israeli domain names

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Marketing!

- you can register for 1$ (inc 0.18$ fee for ICANN) but the renewal cost
will be much higher (~15$) "שיטת מצליח".
- .com/.net domain name space are crowded, go find a nice short name in
them, so not a good compare, check other CC TLD's.
- very cheap cost will flood the domain space with domain trolls which will
buy any combination just in case
- 50 NIS is not that high compare to all the rest -- e.g -
