Afilias to raise .INFO prices as well

April 15, 2007

 

In a letter to Paul Twomey, ICANN’s CEO, Afilias advised the fee charged to registrars for a .info domain will rise to $6.15 on 15 October 2007. This follows VeriSign’s announcement of a fee increase for .com and .net domains effective on the same date.

For the letter, see:

Verisign recently raised prices for COM domains. What's next? A .EU price hike?  A recent study (made available at Lisbon two weeks ago) by Verisign showed that a huge % of COM domains were actually in use (as opposed to being "just parked").  I believe the number was hovering around 85% (this includes domains owned by domainers, and being monetized through companies like SEDO, DomainSponsor, Parked.com, Skenzo, et al).  I guess Verisign sees that if they raise COM prices to $10, probaby 95% of their clients would keep their COM domains. (What's the alternative? Get a cheaper domain and -  Junk our calling cards? Redo our marketing brochures? Invalidate all the advertising money we've spent?) 

 

It could just be that the only reason keeping Verisign from ratcheting up the price of COM is political. Verisign has to be "nice", or at least, perceived as being "nice", otherwise the DoC may get on their case.
