Just a reminder: Purchase domains before July 1

by Aditya on May 16, 2010

Just thought I would let you guys know (you can skip this, if you are aware of VeriSign price increases).

The organization that registers .Com and .Net domains, i.e. VeriSign, has decided to increase price for both tlds. Domain prices are going to go up on July 1, 2010 – .com: 7% increase and .net: 10% increase.

This is a bad news for people like me, who buy a lot of domains for mini sites, niche sites, etc.

Earlier a .Com and .Net at goDaddy could be bought at $7.49 + $0.18 (ICANN Fees) = $7.67,

Now, dot com would cost: $8.02 + $0.18 = $8.20. and,

dot net will cost: $8.24 + $0.18 = $8.42!

Therefore, net increase:

.com: + $0.53

.net: + $0.75

For people like me, who purchase 100s of domains every month, it is an extra cost of a few hundred dollars!

Anyways, just for the heads up, you can purchase domains at old prices till July 1, 2010.
