new gtlds 16 new TLDs will get price increases of up to 3,000%

[Shimmy]

Uniregistry is to massively increase the price of some of its under-performing new gTLDs in an effort to keep them afloat.

Sixteen TLDs from the company’s portfolio of 27 will see price increases of up to 3,000% starting September 8, CEO Frank Schilling confirmed to DI today.

If you think those are bad, there are some far worse spam gTLDs there where there's minimal genuine content.

Would just like to point out many of these sites show a different price when adding to cart and then the premium prices will show up in cart. Entirely possible your non premium was premium the whole time

for .shop :

uniregistry $7.88
godaddy $10.17
dynadot $6.99
name 7.99

later the prices are :

uniregistry $11,000
godaddy $14,000
dynadot $12,000
name $12,500

I can confirm this also, nobody changed the price on you, it is how they code it, the cart had the final price. Nothing new here, every gtld has a different price, and this happens all the time.

I know what you mean, that is why i said i have already put it in cart to compare and double confirm the price in different registrars. the price in cart is the real price as you said. and it was normal reg.

Prices have really changed after 10 minutes when i put the same name in cart in different registrars.

What an utter joke. Even most companies will not be willing to pay thay.

Exactly. because the annual renewal stands the same as the reg price !!
However .club priced it around $2,000 BUT the renewal is standard $10

 

[dordomai]

my guess is, paying 50 million for .shop was not a good idea.

That is why they are lifting prices up for any nice name (we search) to get $100 million back. lol

I was lucky to snatch a VERY SIMILAR domain in .shop for $7 ( 1 word 8 letters ALSO !!) renew for 10 years lol.

Doubt it but nevertheless Goodluck

Doubt it ?! These are the prices shown on each website !!

What do you think now ?

Put yourself in the shoes of an end user: when you try to register a domain and you are presented those overpriced 'alternatives' - it's hard to take new extensions seriously.

 

[hullswingerscom]

I will be dropping all mine with the price hike will you ? or are some thinking of paying 10 years at same price?

just drop them
There is much easier money to be made elsewhere.

This doesn't prove your initial argument of the price change

 

[emadpino]

This doesn't prove your initial argument of the price change

Well, since you refused to give me your time machine to go back a few days to take a screenshot of the domain in cart, then i can do nothing about it.

Another point is, i was not arguing, i was sharing an experience, it is you who started the argument, i showed you proofs, you still argue for no reason, so there is no reason for me to argue with you any further.

.ren and .kim losing 25% of regs in a single day..

.ren losing 25% of regs in a single day..

That's insane. What does ren stand for other than people in Chinese can't think of anything else. Such a weak extension.

no different than .people in the US. I don't think it's much weaker than many others but it seems that the Chinese don't like it.

.kim is for the South Korea market only I think. Millions of kims living there.

Not all ngtlds are going to have a price rise, I thought it was just Uniregistry ngTLDs?

If uniregistry is successful with their concept, and it works for them financially, others could adopt the business model.

There are no assurances on paper to say otherwise to support your argument, and therein lies the underlying issues.
