    The cost of a .com domain is US$6.25 from Verisign and ICANN charge a US0.20c 'tax'. If you pay less than that, the company is subsidising your domain at the hope of spamming you or selling you something else.

    Or in marketing speak ...

    It's a "loss leader"

    Not that either of us would know anything about that :D
