It's always with great remorse that we make this type of announcement but effective 23 January 2017, in order to comply with our contractual obligations, we have increased registration and renewal prices on 76 TLDs, on all price grids.

The reason for the price increase largely has to do with the fact that we pay most new gTLDs in US Dollars and exchange rates have recently fluctuated such that we were compelled to increase rates on affected TLDs.

Generally, we don't adjust our prices based on minor exchange rate fluctuations, however the variations this time were too significant to be able to avoid adjusting our rates. So it's out of necessity that we are notifying you of the following new rates on the following TLDs:

Taxes are not included in the above prices, which unless otherwise indicated, apply both to renewals and creations.

Besides the TLDs listed above, the following TLDs are also impacted, though only in grids B through E:

.asia, .org, .ag, .tv, .tel, .ws, .mobi:

  • Grids B and C: +10% on transfers only
  • Grids D and E: +10% on all operations

One last TLD, .biz, is also impacted but only on Grid E. The prices for all operations have been increased by 10%.


Some 29% of English words have a French origin. Sometimes these are words for specific concepts like laissez-faire or déjà vu, but it’s also a lot of words that have a more boring-sounding English way to say them but have that certain je ne sais quoi in French.

You could have a fun night out, but make it a soirée and it’s just that much more sophisticated. Or maybe you’re bored? Call it ennui and turn it into a philosophical condition.

From April 1 through June 30, 2016 we have a few extensions like this on sale for just $10.00 a piece (per year) that give your domains the same allure.

For example, don’t just open a store, make it a .boutique (normally $32.49 at A rates). A trip becomes that much more epic when you make it a .voyage (which goes for $52.65 at A rates). And maybe you knew .maison is French for house?

We should also mention a couple that maybe haven’t quite crossed over into English yet: .immo and .sarl (usually $38.34 each) that are both on sale. The former is for the real estate industry and the later is the equivalent of “LLC” in a company name.

Have you ever had to run outside in the middle of the night in your skivvies hollering, "Hey you kids! Get off my property!" as no-good meddling teenagers (and their Great Dane) flee the immediate vicinity? Well, then this week's category of domains released as part of Donuts's name collision release program might just be right for you.

This is the category dealing with all things relating to Property. Not just any kind of property, but Real Property (as if other kinds of property aren't real). That means private property like .farm, .house, .land, and .lease but also some common property like .camp, .city, .community, and .town. These domains have been kept pristine by ICANN's name collision prohibition, now think of them as being auctioned off like park land for you to develop.

The rollout schedule for this category will be the following:
    Day 1 (July 29, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$12,667

    Day 2 (July 30, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$4,222
    Day 3 (July 31, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$1,778
    Day 4 (August 1, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$945
    Days 5-7 (August 2-4, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$189

Here's is the full list of TLDs (linked to the list of domains being released) along with their regular prices per year (at A rates):

It was like any other morning at Gandi. We were sitting here, unsuspectedly, taking in another Sunrise Tuesday with its batch of new gTLDs, and reflecting on the news article to be written and posted. It would be hard to be witty about such a real estate-centric group: We had .PROPERTIES and .CONDOS, accompanied by the très français .MAISON as well as .IMMOBILIEN in the language of Goethe. The Spanish .TIENDA would provide a new online home for boutiques, but little opportunity for wordplay.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, .NINJA. Bam.

All of these extensions are available in Sunrise as of today, which means you have to have a trademark with TMCH in order to register them. If you don't, you can pre-register right now for the upcoming Landrush or GoLive phases and we'll submit your order at the earliest possible moment.

The list of newcomers, along with their respective prices in Sunrise / Landrush / GoLive/General Availability, follows:

  • .CONDOS:       $132.68 / $152.67 / (4 June) $52.68
  • .IMMOBILIEN$134.68  / $154.67 / (28 May) $32.49
  • .MAISON:         $132.68 / $152.67 / (4 June) $52.68
  • .NINJA:             $118.68 / $133.68 / (28 May) $19.61
  • .PROPERTIES: $119.68 / $139.68 / (4 June) $32.49
  • .TIENDA:           $132.68 / $152.67 / (4 June) $52.68
