Backorder prices, adds .xyz — Pheenix raises

Prices are still much cheaper than competing services.

Expired domain drop catching service Pheenix disclosed it is increasing prices “Due to price increases by both ICANN and registries.”

The move comes days following SnapNames and NameJet both disclosed price increases.

Pheenix will now charge $24.99 (up from $21.99) for regular backorders, which is still much less than the fresh $79.00 pricing at SnapNames and NameJet.

The firm will also increase the price of its Super Saver backorders by $1.00 to $14.99. These backorders are usurped by full-price backorders.

The fresh prices go into effect August 1.

Pheenix also disclosed .xyz drop catching capabilities for just $4.99.
