Prices on Deleted Domain Names — SnapNames Increases

Cost to get deleted domains increases from $59 to $69.

On Tuesday SnapNames will increase its minimum fee for catching fully deleted domain names by $10 to $69.

The fee increase only applies to domains that go completely through the deletion cycle and are deleted by the registry. It does not apply to domain names auctioned off through registrar partners and other sellers.

Domains auctioned through registrar partners don’t go completely through the deletion cycle. Registering fully deleted domain names is a much more intensive process for backordering services since they have to compete with hundreds of competing registrars vying for the same names at the same time.

Any previously placed bids at $59 will be grandfathered.

SnapNames did not provide a reason for the price increase.
