Since the revised contract was signed between Verisign and ICANN to maintain and manage the .COM registry in 2006, the price for the most popular TLD in the world has increased consistently over the past few years. And on January 14th, .COM prices will rise once again by a further $0.51, and .NET prices by $0.55.
With this contract, Verisign has the authority to increase .COM prices by 7% every year with a 6 month notice to its Registrars. Furthermore, a similar contract signed in June last year for .NET allows for a rise of 10%.
These price increases mean that every Registrar, including ourself, will be forced to increase their prices, so, effective January 14th, 2012, for our customers the pricing of the TLDs .COM, .NET and .BIZ will increase by Rs.30/- per year. Our prices still remain very competitive compared to other major service providers in India.
Please note that any existing invoice that is unpaid as on date, will be revised with the updated prices.
