[Announcement] Price Increase Coming for .COM and .NET domains (1/15/2012)

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

 

https://investor.verisign.com/releaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=591560

 

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

 

aahah I was afraid, I thought a .com for 15 bucks XD
but is normal that the price have to increase

 

I think the prices above are for registrar. The increase can hit $1 or even more for some registrars.
$1 for the owners of a large network with hundreds of domains is huge 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.

 

I noticed the other day that Namecheap had increased the prices already.

 

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.

 

So don't own 2k domains. Thats still only what about 400 bucks.

 

Godaddy is obv just trying to close out q4 with a bang

 

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
