***This price increase is now active. This notice is left in place for reference***
A price increase is coming for .COM domains.
On September 1, 2021 Verisign, the .COM registry, will raise the annual wholesale price for new .COM registrations, renewals and transfers. We, in turn, must raise our .COM pricing as well.
In addition to this year's price increase, Verisign has the right to increase .COM domain fees by up to 7% in 2022 and 2023, as well in 2026 to 2029.
The domain industry could face further .COM price increases in the upcoming years, making early renewals attractive - particularly if securing domains for multiple years.
By renewing your domains for 10 years now, you could save over €40.00 per domain!
Based on our current pricing, a .COM costs €9.30. Let's consider how that could look over the next 10 years if Verisign proceeds with all the approved increases:
| NOW | 2021 Sept 1 |
2022 7%** |
2023 7%** |
2024 7%** |
2026 7%** |
2027 7%** |
2028 7%** |
2029 7%** |
2030 n/a |
| 9.30 | 9.96 | 10.66 | 11.40 | 12.20 | 13.06 | 13.97 | 14.95 | 15.99 |
