Domain name price will increase again!

Sep.12, 2008 in Blogging

Normally I like to buy domain name from Namecheap.com because of their affordable price, coupon code, user friendly control panel, ability to buy by Paypal, and free whois guard for first year on new domain name registration. Beside that, sometimes I also bought domain name from Godaddy.com .

I just got newsletter email from Namecheap a few days ago about they will increase their domain name price by next month. Below is the some quote from that newsletter.

Because select registries are increasing the prices of domains to us, the prices of .com, .net, .org and .info domains are going up 40 cents to $9.69. This will be an industry wide change and will affect all registrars effective in October. This is an increase that is being forced upon us by the registries that handle these extensions. NameCheap does and always will try to bring you the lowest, honest and up front pricing possible. It is for this reason we want to make it clear that this was not a decision we at NameCheap took on our own.

With that means not only Namecheap will increase their domain price but this actually industry wide matter and others registrars also will do the same. If not mistaken, the domain price just increase end of last year (2007) and it will happen again this October 2008.

So if you want to buy a bulk of domain, better to buy it now to get some saving on your money. As for me, maybe I’ll buy just 2 or 3 more domain before end of this month. Most probably for my new projects.
