Unfortunately we have to announce a price raise in the .com and .net domain names verisgn is raising the cost for registration each year, and even though we did not make changes last year we do need to adjust our pricing this for this year.
Prices as from 16 december 2011 (new registrations and transfers) € 12,99 incl 19% VAT
Prices as from 15 january 2012 (renewals) € 14,99 incl 19% VAT
Note that these prices are not raised by us but by the main registry Verisign which is raising prices each year.
According to verisign they need to raise the prices due to the large growth of the TLD's as well as DDOS atacks towards their infrastructure.
Continued strong global Internet usage growth, along with increasingly powerful distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks leveled against all parts of the Internet's critical infrastructure, have dramatically increased the demands on Internet infrastructure providers such as Verisign. In the last five years, the volume of Domain Name System (DNS) queries on Verisign's global Internet infrastructure has more than doubled, increasing to an average daily query load of 57 billion in the first quarter of 2011. Future growth is expected to occur at an even faster pace. Verisign's infrastructure has maintained 100 percent operational security, accuracy and stability for more than a decade due to continued innovation and investment in the infrastructure.
Please note that you are free to cancel your domainname at the end of the term so you do not need to pay the higher fee's.
