.COM Wholesale Price Increase Statistics ($0.18 ICANN fee included):
$8.03 until September 1, 2021
$8.57 after September 1, 2021

The text below is a quote from: https://domainnamewire.com/2024/02/08/verisign-announces-com-price-hike-to-10-26

Verisign is allowed to increase prices by 7% in each of the last four years of its six-year contract renewal. This year marks the final of those four years for the current contract. So, unless the U.S. government intervenes, the price should be fixed at $10.26 for the next couple of years.

Current registrants of .com domain names can avoid the price increase by renewing their domains in advance for up to ten years at today’s prices.

Verisign announced the hike in conjunction with its 2023 earnings results. The company reported revenue of $1.49 billion for 2023. While the number of domains under management fell over the course of the year, a 7% price increase instituted in September 2023 helped nudge revenue up 4.8% year over year.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you can make money by being lazy: just get a monopoly.

The problem is (imo) the majority of registrants don't care as they're paying $20 or something at registrars like GD or NetSol already.

They have no clue about the margin anyway.

Given the scale of .com/.net and others they operate (versign), cost should be way below $10/year. They adds nothing, no progression, no improvement.

Just cashing in.

Letter from Porkbun:

It’s our least favorite kind of notification to send, but it’s our duty here at the Bun to keep you informed: the price of .com domain names is going up again.

As we’ve talked about before, Verisign — the registry behind .com and .net — is set to increase wholesale pricing on .com domains industry wide on September 1. This has become an annual trend, and we expect the .com price will steadily increase through 2030. This increase affects every registrar that offers .com domains, not just us.

As you know, here at Porkbun we always do our best to keep pricing as low as possible while offering more free services than any other registrar out there. We expect our pricing to change from $10.37 to around $11.06 at midnight ET on September 1.
