.Com to $7.29 Ahead of Registry Fee Hikes — Moniker Drops
Moniker joins other registrars in “renew ahead of the increase” promotions.
Domain registrar Moniker has just cut the fresh registration and renewal price on .com domain names to $7.29 until the end of the month. Moniker joins other registrars in offering promotions prior to a wholesale price increase that goes into effect October 1. The current wholesale price of .com domains, counting the ICANN fee, is $6.62. The price jumps to $7.06 on October 1. eNom is right now offering a $6.62 transfer special on .coms.
Wholesale prices of other domain extensions, counting .net, .info, and .org, will also increase.
Regardless of which registrar you use, it makes sense to look at your fresh few months of registrations and renew them early. Keep in mind that you can renew your good domains today for 10 years at current prices. VeriSign (NASDAQ: VRSN) will likely hike .com prices 7% for the next three years and .net prices 10%, so you can save a bit of money across your domain name portfolio.
