Increase in domain prices

[fonzie_007]

If I recall, isn't there going to be a price hike in domain names this fall (for registrations and renewals)? Does anyone know what date this price hike is?

Thanks,

Fonz

Oct 11th or the 12th, If I remember correctly.

Thanks, I thought it was sometime in Oct, but I just couldn't remember when. I figured I should renew most of my domains for another year before the price hike hits.

All TLD's or only .coms??

Yah, depending on how many you got, (.com and .net) you'll be saving yourself a couple of big nickels (quarters).

By how much are they increasing the prices for the domain names? Any particular extension(s)?

I believe its .com and .net (verisign)

I remember something about a .org hike as well - someone feel free to correct me if im wrong, but I believe IF that happens, thats at another date.

7%

I think it's $0.42 for .com.

A bit less for .net.

Update -

Here is the original thread - and here are the guidelines:

Prices will go up on Oct 15th (i was off by a few days)

.com wholesale price to rise from $6.00 to $6.42
.net wholesale price to rise from $3.50 to $3.85

Expect prices to be passed onto consumers...

There was a legal challenge to these increases, monopoly and all that, don't know what is happening with it. There really is no excuse for them.
