VeriSign Increases Domain Name Fees In 2010
December 18, No Comments - Author: Simon JohnsonThe thieves at Verisign announced today that effective July 1, 2010 there will be an increase in domain name fees for .com and .net.
The registry fee for .com domain names will increase from $6.86 to $7.34 and the registry fee for .net domain names will increase, from $4.23 to $4.65.
In a release to the market today, the organisation appeared to justify the increase saying:
“Over the last decade, the volume of Internet traffic and domain name system (DNS) queries on VeriSign’s global infrastructure has increased from an average of approximately 2 billion queries per day in the year 2000 to more than 50 billion queries per day today..”
To save you some maths, the industry is looking at a .com increase of 48 cents and .net increase of 42 cents. Happy New Year!
