Uniregistry Implements Price Protections for Existing Registrants; Premium Domain Names to Decrease in Price
Prior to that announcement, Uniregistry had consulted with many of its registration business partners about the upcoming price increases. "The registration providers we consulted reported that differentiating prices based on the time of the registration was technically difficult and confusing for customers," said Bret Fausett, head of the Registry Services Team. "Based on that feedback, and considering the small number of registrants affected, we made the difficult decision to raise prices for all registrants."
