Even NameCheap.com jumped their rate from $7.98 p/year up to $9.98.

Are registrars allowed to charge whatever they want, with rate increases at any time?
The registry, Verisign, did a price increase not too long ago. That's why namecheap increased. Namecheap has also recently LOWERED prices on a lot of domains.

They must have dropped their rates a bit at some point, if an increase is just bringing them back to where they were.
The $35 price I posted is BEFORE this July $3 price increase.
