com wholesale will up $0.54 Sept1, Y Dynadot hiking $1.00?

[Samer]

Hey folks,

Aware about the 7% com price hike for while
Verisign prolonged, due to Covid, wholesale -- will go from $7.85 to $8.39 on Sept 1.
amounts to a 54-cent increase ($7.85 to $8.39)
Dynadot decided this is an opportune time to round up and near double 54 cents to $1.00 -- $8.99 to $9.99, a $1.00 increase, despite the 54 cent Verisign price hike.

———————————

Godaddy may do nothing, since up-charge a lot 7.85-8.39 theoretically not worth nightmare PR; Gd’s $18!, but stranger things’ happened.

@Dynadot, why not up the price by 54 cents?

Why add $1.00? The current $8.99 price would still profit off 8.39, even if add the 18 cents fee!

If you have super bulk ( you spend so much a year there) it is $8.99 which is a 50 cent increase) Make sure to complain to GoDaddy and all the registrars who’s price will be higher than that. Some of you have nothing better to do with your time than complain about anything and everything.

This scheduled increase has been known for almost two years and not the choice of Dynadot or anyone else.

@alcy start moving your names out now and let us know where there is a better post transfer renewal deal. You have 26 days left

 

[suitedbrand]

Increases are not too bad if you are Bulk or Super Bulk customer, imo.

Regular: 11.12%
Bulk: 5.71%
Super Bulk: 5.76%

 

[Rhinnnn]

yeah..a big if..which sadly doesnt apply to most.. hence we have a problem.

I qualify for Bulk pricing by spending at least $500 a year. That's about 55 .coms, really not much if you're serious about domains. I currently pay $8.75 per renewal, and will pay $9.25 from September 1. That's only a $0.50 increase - nothing to complain about.

For those who buy and renew a few domains yearly, the price increases hardly matter.

 

[twiki]

I have super bulk so... no problems for me.

I'm not surprised by this. Dynadot has to make money somehow. Well they will get just a little more from lower tier clients.

 

[johnn]

No big deal!

Just add $2 to your final sale price. You gain $1 more profit.

 

[CraigD]

At the end of the day, go where you can get the best deals and service with your personal portfolio, and keep checking for specials and promos.

 

[Elad n]

@namesilo from 8.99 to 9.95 as well

 

[alcy]

I’m assuming @karmaco is bulk dynadot seller

or just dyna fanboy?

me I'm fanboy of good fair.prices and not getting ripped off. as are all reasonable folk

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

You’ll save even more at Sav lol. For record i never had an acct at dynadot

alcy is singing... time to say goodbye..

thanks for being industry leader in ripping people off @Dynadot

I hope you make up with this price hike for the 100s of 1000s of domains that will leave yer registrar.

 

[Lox]

You buy for $10 and sell for $100+ (... $1000s) and arguing about the registrar end-operational profit of -/+ $0.60 per .com domain. Or EOP of -/+ $0.10 via DynaD Promo codes.

If the $10 per .com is too expensive… let me guess - the aftermarket price of your domain names goes up % per year. Right?

You know why many "fishnet" registrars (+ resellers) will charge less than $10? Because they will turn around & sell your user info and / or up-sell you on basic functionality (whois, Cinderella dns features, etc). To not mention "carrot <> stick = banana promises".

Read ToS / Policy ... & edu about how much it costs to run a domain name registrar.

If you are holding 10,000+ domain names and doing nothing but waiting ... lower the cost > get rid of useless domains.

Regards

@Dynadot , waiting for your reply.

Yup! Ur an objective best value fanboy. Agree.

I cant wait to hear Dynadot’s response.
i think replied too soon with too high increase

 

[sircc]

Guys, as a solution, increase the prices on your domains.

A thousand domains will cost you an extra $500. A STR of 2% gives an increase of $25 on average per sale. Round it out to lets say $50 US per domain to cover the increase, including commission.

The consumer pays the price hike, like everywhere else.

edit... I actually had to go back and do the math as I got it wrong. Beer, BBQ and domains don't go well together.

 

[WGS_Thunder]

Porkbun ACH is 8.09 now, I don't see where they announced what the new price will be. Guaranteed they won't add $1.00

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

If they sell. In a month we will find out who raised prices by how much. Remember i already add 25% as our cad is much lower than usd, so $8 renewal is $10.00 to me already. We been spoiled by discounts but businesses cant run in red 24/7. So i am paying ~ $10 for .com and $11 for .ca renewal. I do move my keepers at renewal to save a duece and have some due this month and they will go where best deal is. If my name is not worth extra 3 cents a day to own, i shouldnt own it

No big deal!

Just add $2 to your final sale price. You gain $1 more profit.

Your math skills are amazing John
Edit: each name is an independent investment, as most i have for more than 1 year

 

[Dynadot]

Being a low-cost registrar, we do acknowledge price increases can be challenging. This is why we wanted to notify our customers with ample notice. As pointed out earlier, this price increase has been known for several years. We will continue to do our best in offering low and transparent pricing after ICANN and transaction fees.

 

[karmaco]

Smart.

$0.04 cheaper than DD’s “$9.99” bs increase.

Amazing, shouldnt have exceeded 7.85 to 8.39
Once more, that’s 54 cents.

@karmac as for you, get at me with something more substantive. You just establishin you dont care about price increases; DD 1st domino — NS followed with increase to 9.95 to 9.99;

Grow up, @karmaco this affects ALL of us.

Always looking at things with a partisan lens.
I kept OP post neutral, just asking questions.
beloved epik didnt announce such an increase; Only ur Dynadot started this bs domino effect,
—Facts, not attacks; the FIFTY FOUR CENTS should not be DOLLAR INCREASE 8.99->9.99
(Or 96 cents NameSilo’s case, respondin wave

There is nothing partisan about you. If someone posts about Epik anything you are the first one jumping to their defense. You are the most biased person on this platform about registrars.

so when you get the scoop on Epik’s increase be sure to start a critique thread that shows us how “partisan” you are. We won’t hold our breath.

[CraigD]

Is a percentage of tax involved with that price increase?

Hopefully they will continue to offer great specials.

 

[karmaco]

And @Samer its a cheap shot from an Epik fan boy. Make sure to post their increase letter if they even send one.

 

[Samer]

You’ll save even more at Sav lol. For record i never had an acct at dynadot

Above(.)com 9.45 com renewal now cheaper.

They offer free Whois Privacy & awesome DN.
Always wanted to try strange different registrar

After Sept 1, $9.99 .com renewal at Dynadot!
Actually sets bad precedent. Shame, Dynadot.

I'm on the same boat, it's only a 50 cents increase, no biggie ...
