NetEarth Pricing for 40 new TLDs – March 2016

NetEarth One Registry Price Increase

Nominet price hike – effective February 29th 2016

Nominet as of the 1st March 2016 will be amending their wholesale pricing for .uk, .co.uk, .org.uk and .me.uk.

The pricing is essentially an eye watering 50% on 2+ year registrations and renewals, and ~10% increase on 1 year registrations/renewals, Nominet’s argument is they have not changed the pricing since 1999, its now time to make a change, and then look at the pricing on a yearly basis.

On the plus side, and I use that term loosely, it now means all years are the same price – still not great mind you.

So the “per year” pricing for a .UK domain (.uk, co.uk, org.uk and me.uk) will be :

Tier 1 : $ 7.39
Tier 2 : $ 7.34
Tier 3 : $ 7.29
Tier 4 : $ 7.19
Tier 5 : $ 7.09

This pricing will become effective on the platform on the 29th February at 2200 UTC.

Changes on the LB platform NetEarth One

.EU Renewal Tenure Update

LB will be introducing a few changes to the default renewal tenure for .EU domains effective from August 3, 2015. These changes have been made as a result of the updates made by the .EU Registry.

Here are the updates:

  • .EU domains will now follow a life cycle similar to that of gTLDs
  • Domains registered before September 15, 2014, will expire on the 2nd last day of the expiring month and will then go through a 25 day Renewal Grace Period. On non-renewal, the domains will be deleted and will need to be restored within 40 days
  • Domains registered after September 15, 2014, will expire on the same day as the date of registration in the expiring month and will then go through a 25 day Renewal Grace Period. On non-renewal, the domains will be deleted and will need to be restored within 40 days
  • If any domain is renewed BEFORE the domain goes into quarantine, the expiry date will be extended by 1 year. If the domain is renewed / reactivated AFTER it goes into quarantine, the expiry date will be extended by 2 years
  • Also, post August 3, 2015, the expiry date that will be shown on the system will be the date on which the domain expires
