Rumors about the price increase of the domain name have been out for a while. I also cooked up some info on godaddy. I was bored and dug out some emails godaddy sent me today. It will start from July 1The price increase of the domain name is basically confirmed.
Information: Before September 12, 1995, domain names under .com, .net, and .org were free to register. From September 13, 1995, .com, .net, and . Domain names registered under org need to pay an annual management fee of US$50. From April 1, 1998, this price will be changed to US$35 per year.
On January 30, 1999, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued a green paper, outlining the U.S. government's plans to privatize the Domain Name System (DNS) and break the monopoly on domain name registration on January 30, 2000. June 5, 1999 , the U.S. Department of Commerce issued a white paper announcing the establishment of ICANN, a non-profit organization, and it will manage the domain name system (DNS), root servers and IP address allocation.
Godaddy email about domain name price adjustment:
On July 1, 2010, VeriSign®, the registry for .COM and .NET, will increase prices – .COM will go up 7%, and .NET by 10%.
As early as December last year, there were media reports that VeriSign intended to raise the price of .COM and .NET domain names. Domestic registrars said they would not follow suit in terms of terminal prices and would only increase the agent registration price. This price adjustment, .com Domain name registration prices will increase from US$6.86 to US$7.34, and .net domain names will increase from US$4.23 to US$4.65.
However, friends who register domain names should also pay attention. Many domestic registrars are using the guise of low-price registration. In fact, it is only a low price for the first year, and the renewal price is relatively high. This is the case with the American Yahoo domain name. The discounts are so cheap that renewing is no different than robbery. In addition, domestic domain name registrars have also set up obstacles to transfer domain names, and there are many direct transfers for a fee. For example, the domain name registered by Good VPS at State Grid Data last year (remember the address of this garbage: www.7data.com) is like this. The fee for transferring a domain name is 50 yuan. If you want to transfer a new network to a new network, if you have any other questions, I will tell you: Your domain name is ready to be transferred, and we have no obligation to answer your questions! Really rubbish! Their DNS resolution is also quite unstable.
Okay, domain name prices will increase in 2 months, so hurry up if you want to make rice! hey-hey.
