The Best Part Regarding the Fresh DomainTools

DomainTools gets a facelift and fresh membership levels.

DomainTools launched a fresh interface today. It makes finding and using its vast array of tools much easier.

But the best part is that account credits are gone.

In the words of DomainTools:

“We’ve taken the most confusing pricing model ever conceived, and we’ve given it the axe.”

Amen.

The old system was based on “units” for various products. And the number of units required to order the same product depended on how you used it. For example, tracking one firm’s registrations costs a lot more units than another firm’s.

Now the system has been simplified to three membership levels. It’s a lot easier to understand and won’t require mid-year “top ups” of units.

Existing members are grandfathered into their current plan, but some might find it worthwhile to upgrade to one of the fresh plans based on their planned usage.
