Afilias is updating their pricing as of 1st January, we will be updating the pricing on 31st December 2019 at 2100 UTC.

Nominet on the 13th January 2020 will be updating their pricing for .UK as well, this will be for all variants of .UK and the increase in price will be $0.20 per year. Therefore on the 12th of January at 2200 UTC we will increase the pricing on the paltform.

Neustar the registry behind .BIZ is increasing its wholesale price to registrars on 12th November 2018.

This increase will take effect from 11th November at 2200UTC.

The price increase is $1.42 per year for registration, renewal or transfer. Restoration will also increase by the same amount.

LogicBoxes managed to get some of hte pricing wrong out of hte 50 odd TLDs to go live.  Below are the corrected pricing that will go live this Friday, 21st September 2018 at Midday BST.

.COM.MX
Registration – no change
Renewal and transfer per year – $ 22.95
Restore – $ 55.00

.ORG.MX
Registration – no change
Renewal and transfer per year – $ 25.95
Restore – $ 55.00

.NZ
Registration, renewal – no change
Restore – $ 45.00

Following an update from LogicBoxes, the .space nTLD will increase to the pricing below :

Tier 1 per year for Registration / Renewal and transfer : $ 17.95

Restoration of .space : $ 95.00

These prices will go live Monday 17th September 2018.

Verisign will be increasing the .net pricing as of Feb 1st 2018 at 0000 UTC.

To facilitate the increase, we will be raising the pricing of registration, renewal, transfer and restoration by $1.00 per year as of January 31st 2018 at 2200 UTC.

This is across all tiers.

We have had a rather impulsive update to our pricing which through LogicBoxes is from the registries.

As you will notice most of them are nTLD’s, meaning the new gTLD names are not making as much for the registries as they were hoping and they believe to recoup it is best to “increase” the pricing and catch new registrations, transfers, and renewals (plus restorations). Some over 2000% increase in pricing, namely .HOSTING and .JUEGOS, let alone some being 400% increases – what a con I hear you say, I can’t disagree with you – we are flabbergasted at the short sightedness of the registries in question.

So the first 3 are going live September 1st 2017 at midday BST (11am UTC) :

TLD Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4 Tier 5 Restore

TLD                 Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4 Tier 5 Restore
