Notice: New Domain Extensions Price Increases From Uniregistry

The registry operator, Uniregistry, has announced a number of significant price increases, taking place on September 8th, 2017 (00:00 UTC). Certain TLDs will have moderate price increases, while others will have significant hikes. Renewal prices will differ depending on the type of increase (details below). Despite these changes, we will continue to support all affected TLDs and we recommend that you adjust your end-user prices accordingly. Here’s what you can expect:

price increases
The prices for TLDs with moderate increases will
renew at the new pricing.

Significant
price increases

The prices for TLDs with significant increases will be grandfathered. This means that domains registered BEFORE September 8th will renew at the original, pre-increase price going forward. Also, you are required to quote the grandfathered renewal price at the time of renewal if you are using the API to initiate the renewal.
IMPORTANT for API users (resellers): Due to system limitations, there are no safeguards against the 9 TLDs whose prices are increasing significantly. Because of this, we encourage you to either adjust your prices or simply discontinue the extensions that have significant price increases to ensure your customers are not unknowingly overpaying. Domains registered before September 8th can be renewed at their original price by quoting the renewal fee in the API command.

Stay up-to-date with domain price changes

Image
Many Registries that operate certain domain extensions, like .com, .net, and so forth, have been periodically increasing their prices, which forces us to change our prices accordingly. Our affiliate, Enom, has created a page that will continually update with any domain extension price changes, and lists when those price changes will happen. The page can be accessed at price-changes.help.domains , or from the button below. The listed "New Price" will not necessarily reflect what your new price will be. What will be accurately reflected is the change in price. It can be determined what your new price will be by applying approximately the same price change to your current price for a domain in your account. So if the .com domain has a price change from $13 to $14, your new price will increase by approximately $1. Button Example
