Dear Customers,

The central registries for COM, NET, ORG, INFO, and BIZ are raising prices this month. Because our margins are so low, we are forced to raise prices as well.

Starting midnight Oct 15 EST, the price of COM, NET, ORG, INFO, and BIZ domains is going from $7.99 to $8.99. To save money, we recommend you renew your domains at the current price before Oct 15.

We work hard to keep prices low. This is our first price increase since we went into business in 2002.

Best Regards,
Dynadot Staff

You guys deserve every cent on the price increase.

Thanks a lot for so many years of absolutely great service.

Keep the good work!

Stop your bitching, its $1 and dynadots services are great.

And there customer service is aswell =]

when you have 1000 names it can get expensive dude

also verisign can raise it 7%  3 times the next 5 years. They used 1 of their raises do they have 2 more!

Do the math, it will only get more expensive within the next few years.

@ j_greenvale_us

If you really have 1000 Domains then you qualify for bulk pricing ;)

Dunno what's up with people moaning about 1$ increase - this shouldn't be much at all - how many domains do those moaning guys have ? IF they are domainers then they are eligable for 7.50$ bulk prices and if they are not domainers then they have too small amount of domains to complain about 1$ increase

Look at all other registrars prices - they even increased

Godaddy (with their crappy control panel) 9.99$

Namecheap :  9.29$

Dynadot 8.99$

This is math that I was taught in school and it says Dynadot is still cheaper. *Period*

Moniker is even cheaper after the price increase :)
Domains are still around $7...

thats only if you are a member on a few specific message boards.....

plus if you are a dynadot bulk customer the pricing isn't bad.

>Everything goes up eventually and fair enough.

Not in this case.

Verisign had no technical or financial reason for a price increase. Their costs, like most computer-related costs, are going down all the time. They raised prices because they knew ICANN would let them, and the other Registries followed suit.

ICANN needs to put the .com registry management out to tender. Tucows has already publicly offered to run it for $2 a name.

This is all to do with the failure of ICANN to protect us Registrants. THey don't protect us because we have no vote. WE pay the ICANN tax, the Registrar's collect it for them from us and pass it on, but we have no representation at ICANN. This needs to change.

This thread isnt' about Verisign, ICANN, or Tucows. It's about Dynadot being forced to raise their prices. They do deserve the extra money, but as for Verisign, that would be a topic for a new thread IMO.
