Dynadot raising .com and .net prices Oct. 1st

[Sleepys]

"We want to let you know that the central registry for COM and NET domains will raise prices for COM and NET starting on October 1, 2008. Due to this price increase, we will be raising our COM and NET prices from $8.99 to $9.25. To save money, you may want to renew your COM and NET domains before October 1st to take advantage of our current prices before they go up.

This price increase will affect all COM and NET registrations, renewals, and domain transfers. Any orders submitted and paid before October 1, 2008 will not be affected by this price increase.

If you have any further questions about this, please feel free to contact us.

Best Regards,
Dynadot Staff"

wonder how the bulk prices would be affected :\

 

[weblord]

let's check their help pages, shall we?

Do I get a discount if I buy domain names in bulk?
Yes, Dynadot does offer a bulk pricing program when you spend more than $500 per year with us. If you've already spent more than $500 with us within the past year, you automatically qualify for a discount towards future domain registrations and domain transfers.

If you are a new Dynadot customer, you can qualify for bulk pricing immediately by prepaying $500 into your Dynadot account.

These guys are going to lose out on existing customers.

I think most of the registers are going to do this sooner or later

Yes, they will. But I don't think prices will be on par with Dynadot.

erm I have had the bulk pricing since forever.
I said how is the price hike going to effect the bulk pricing, would it increase by $.25 or stay the same :\

I'm guessing they would increase it by $.25, isnt unexpected though.

I'm not surprised. Still You can save more then those 0,25$ comparing some top registrars prices (base + coupons).
My last blogpost is about some registrars, but it's almost worthless to read for experienced domainerz.
