VeriSign price increase on domains
I got this email from my rep at Moniker:
...
... the price increase that Verisign has enacted. The price increase will be $2.10 over the next 4 years. The initial price increase will take place on October 15th. You can save money by registering and transferring your names now, and in an effort to facilitate this, Moniker is offering a reduction in the registration and transfer of .com and .net domain names to the prices of $6.85 for .COMs and $5.00 for .NETs! This offer is only going to be in effect until October 10th. You can also take advantage of this pricing for renewals and I recommend renewing your domains out to the 10 year limit to take advantage of this offer.

I am not happy about this. VeriSign is a monopolistic fucker!!
Domain registration costs at the registry level should be decreasing, not increasing. ICANN/ USDOC is an enabler; they are derelict in their duty to the public.
Oh well, at least I have a month of so to renew some domains for the max, 10 years. I suggest you all do the same here:

That's all for now.
