Hi,
I just got an email from Name.com :

As many of you may know the company responsible for .COM/.NET addresses, VeriSign, has announced a price increase scheduled for January 15, 2012.

We strongly advise that you take advantage of current prices by renewing your domain names before 1/15/2012. This will add an additional year of registration to your domain at the current, lower price. By renewing for multiple years you can lock in long-term savings!
 
Verisign announced that as of Jan. 15, 2012, the registry fee for .com domain names will increase from $7.34 to $7.85 and that the registry fee for .net domain names will increase from $4.65 to $5.11.

At reading the title I screamed noooo but those prices aren't bad... hell that isn't even inflation
 
Its not a very big increase, I can live with that. But in godaddy renewal email, they were screaming like if verisign is increasing 50$ on a single domain :p
 
aahah I was afraid, I thought a .com for 15 bucks XD
but is normal that the price have to increase
 
yea....not that big of a increase but still a increase
 
Totally agree that the price increase isn't great. It's certainty not something I'd worry too much about.
 
The angry smiley in the title led me to believe it would be a price increase of 100% or something. Instead it's just a few cents. No big deal.

But when you have 2,000 domains ... it all adds up.
 
seriously? after they enable so many other extensions?? maybe this is a marketing strategies to push ppl using new extensions.

I don't think its related to new extensions. Its probably just because of inflation. If they want to promote new extensions, they should offer some really discounted prices like on .info :D
