PIR the .ORG registry is increasing its cost price to each ICANN registrar, for registration, renewal, transfer or restoration. This will be effective on 31st July 2016, at 22:00 BST.
Therefore the new prices per Tier are :
Tier 1 $ 12.25
Tier 2 $ 11.90
Tier 3 $ 11.60
Tier 4 $ 11.49
Tier 5 $ 11.29
Restoration pricing will increase by $1.00 to $68.00 which will include 1 year renewal of the domain name.
For the last few years we have had the renewal grace period “RGP” set for the following domains to 16 days : com/net/asia/biz/info and mobi.
As of today, this time-frame has been extended to 30 days, thus going forward, domain tlds com/net/asia/biz/info and mobi will have a renewal grace period of 30 days that expire from today.
We are pleased to announce that during Monday 14th March, we will have 40 new TLDs (nTLD’s) going live within the platform. These will probably create a few emails (thankfully not 40) when they are being signed up.
Below you will find the TLDs along with Registration/Renewal/Transfer and Restoration pricing. There will also be a csv file at the footer so that you can download and import into your application should you use the API.
Pricing is the same for all Tiers.

| Pricing is in USD, per year. |
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.
Verisign are increasing the .net pricing as of Feb 1st at 0000 UTC.
To facilitate the increase, we will be raising the pricing of registration, renewal, transfer and restoration by $1.00 as of January 31st 2016 at 1200 UTC (midday).
This is across all tiers.
An email reminder will be sent out and platform notice will be set.
From our monitoring, circa 0500 UTC this morning LogicBoxes have had issues with API access as well as control panel slowness.
They started investigating this around 0700, circa 0900 they found an I/O issue on the primary database servers.
Currently they are monitoring the DB servers to identify the root cause. I will update this post when we have more information.
