Why are some domain extensions cheap (like .info, .com, .net etc.) and why some of them are very expensive (like .eu, .tv, .am etc.)?
Prices are set by the central registries. When you register a domain name through a registrar they are required to pay a minimum fee to the central registry as well as an ICANN fee. Registrars set their own pricing after that which is why you'll pay $19.99 a year for a .com at one registrar and $6.99 a year at another registrar.

I think he was meaning more like cctld's.
In fact some countries don't even have control over their own country code domains, some have sold them off to private interests in the US.
Anyway, country code registries can basically set whatever prices they like for their domains.
After that post i got question. What is fixed ICAAN fee for .com ?
And who is the cheapest .com seller?
