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%.

"The best things in life are free," sang Bing Crosby in 1949, but for those that aren't, there's today's category of gTLDs for the release of previously protected domains: Food and Goods.

The EAP prices (at A rates, not including any applicable tax) will vary by day, and will be approximately as follows:

    Day 1 (July 15, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$12,667
    Day 2 (July 16, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$4,222
    Day 3 (July 17, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$1,778
    Day 4 (July 18, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$945
    Days 5-7 (July 19-21, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$189

Because if there's one thing more satisfying than making money, it's spending money. This isn't the moon and stars; this one goes out to all you consumers out there (the normal price for a one-year registration at A rates is on the right):

Three new gTLDs from Donuts have entered the Sunrise phase: .gifts, .restaurant and .sarl.

A list of these cool, useful new extensions follows, accompanied by a link to the corresponding pricing page and the respective prices in Sunrise, Landrush and General Availability/GoLive, all at A rates, handily color coded:

 

About the Sunrise phase:

The Sunrise phase is for TMCH-registered trademark holders. Contact our corporate support team if you have (or would like us to help you get) a TMCH-registered trademark in order to register one of these new gTLDs during Sunrise.

About the Landrush/GoLive phases:

Note: If you want to be absolutely sure to get your desired domain, you can register it during Landrush at the higher price listed above. The Landrush phase for these three new gTLDs will begin on 9 November 2014 at 9am PDT (16:00 UTC).

GoLive is scheduled to begin on 12 November (9am PDT/16:00 UTC). However, you don't need to wait until GoLive begins to register your domain: we strongly encourage you to pre-register as soon as possible. We will submit the order on your behalf at the earliest possible moment, in the order they are received. As always, if the registration is not successful, we will automatically refund your prepaid account (and will refund to your external funding source upon request).
