Solid year for .com and .net with combined 4.0% year-over-year growth, and country codes combined slightly higher growth.

New extensions had a great year-over-year. XYZ undoubtedly played big part of that.

ngTLDs increased by 3.5 million domain name registrations, or 15.3%, year over year.

love to see if keeps going up when Verisign exercises their right to hike com renewal price 7% every year

Verisign the right to increase prices 7% per year for the last four years, in six-year .com contract extension. It will ve second price hike under the current contract, so expect prices to go up 7% again in 2023 and 2024, too.

Prices go up from wholesale $8.39 to 8.97 on Sept. 2022.

If Verisign hikes com prices each of 4 years;
who knows if the numbers’ keep going up.

Hope Verisign loses no-bid .com contract;
unless stop hiking .com prices 7% each year
