The charges of 5D6D are making a lot of noise. Because I also have a bound domain name attached to 5D6D, I am also very concerned about this incident. I think back when the small station settled in 5D6D, it was entirely because of its free license and free binding of domain names. This is an irresistible temptation for some webmasters, and it is precisely because of this policy that it attracts thousands of webmasters. Anyone who has done a website knows that the weight of a second-level domain name and a top-level domain name is self-evident. It is precisely because of the permanent free banner of 5D6D that many webmasters spend a lot of effort to promote their own sites, and some have achieved their own scale, but more sites have not yet achieved stable profits, so more webmasters are willing to Use free space.
However, as soon as the charging policy came out, it was not only the webmaster who was hurt, but 5D6D also suffered huge losses. Where is the big one?
1: It has been a long time ago, and it has always been using the sign of being permanently free, and it suddenly charges. What's more, well-known domestic companies are so untrustworthy, so who will have credibility? The word credibility itself is a cup of tea. . I believe this company can still survive, but it will no longer be trusted by everyone in the future. Mutual integrity I think is the first step in business.
Two: When making the charging decision, 5D6D did not ask the opinions of the webmasters, but launched the charging service very forcefully, which caused the majority of webmasters to be extremely disgusted. Everyone can understand that the current network situation is not good. When making this plan, a reasonable approach is to first seek the opinions of webmasters and then choose a compromise plan. You are indifferent and put yourself on a pedestal. Do you think you are God?
Three: Charges seriously deviate from the actual track of the market. 140 yuan is bound to a domain name every year. This price is more expensive than buying a space. Where are your value-added services? What is the difference in value between paid forums and free forums? Why should I spend 140 yuan a year to buy a domain name? A forum that cannot back up data by itself, cannot collect data by itself, and cannot be freely managed. If you want to be closed, you can close it, and if you want to open it, what if you can open it? As more webmasters have said, we all understand the one-time binding fee of 30 yuan, and I am willing to bear this fee, but I have to pay it every year It costs a lot of money, but you think I'm a donkey and you can kill me at will?
Four: It’s too late to make amends. After the uproar over the strong launch of charging fees and the overwhelming opposition from webmasters, 5D6D officials were forced to introduce a second set of free binding plans. Maybe 5D6D had a good image in the past, but after such an incident, the image of 5D6D, at least in the minds of small webmasters like me, has disappeared. The closer you are to users, the more money you can make. The farther you are from users, the more users can stay away from you. In the future, 5D6D will have to repair the rift caused by this incident and the webmaster, which may not happen overnight.
Jack Ma said that free things are the most expensive things in the world. I believe that after this 5D6D incident, more 5D6D webmasters have their own plans in mind. At least, 5D6D is no longer the 5D6D that was originally promised.
