Important Change: price increase for .COM domains
 

:disgust:disgust:disgust:disgust
We have been informed that Verisign will be increasing prices for .COM domains starting on September 1, 2023. This means that, unfortunately, NameSilo will need to do the same. We are contacting you because you have active or expired .COM domain(s) in your account.

There is still time to take advantage of the current lower prices by renewing your existing domains for multiple years and registering any new .COM names before September 1st. You can disregard this email if you have already renewed your domain(s) recently.

Take advantage of lower rates by signing up for our Discount Program. Save on your .COM domain registrations and renewals, as well as across all our supported domain extensions.



NEW Discount Program Pricing for .COM (active account domains)

Price: | $11.95 | $10.40 | $10.30 | $10.20 | $10.10 | $10.00 |


Our new prices for .COM domain(s) will be as follows:

Yep it will be 9.77$ on my registrar, that is a lot considering once it was only 6$.

What is the amount its going up by? 10c/20c? Its usually every year in September but its hard to tell what the amount is based on that email.
WG

what??? the current amount... minus the new rate.

If now is 9.77$ and before was 9.15$ that is 62 cents difference.

If it goes to $100 per year, domain resale business is over.

hmm, no notice of that on namesilo

i also haven't seen an email

curious

don't worry... you will get it or your email is fucked up.

I will never understand this, the system is automatic, it involves no work from an actual person to register a domain, it's not like a worker has to wake up, put on his magic pants, and process domain registrations, the increase is just robbery because they know people will accept it

It's not people will "accept" it. In fact people have no choice but to be the victims of this scam. :helpme

Same here.. anyway, time to renew before September :(

same on dynadot.

Sorry, I meant what is the Verisign fee that all registrars must increase their fee by. NameSilo is increasing their rates by 62c, but that usually includes a markup on their end as well. I'm looking for the amount that is coming from Verisign (unless they're not marking it up, then it would be the same).

That is verisign price.

Choose your domains wisely . . .
