Verisign have today announced a 7% increase in .com prices to take effect on 1st September 2023.
The wholesale price for .com domains will increase from by 87-cents. This does not include ICANN’s 18-cent fee.
Under its agreement with ICANN and the U.S. government, Verisign is allowed to increase prices by 7% per year in the last four years of every six-year contract term. This will be the third hike of this contract term, and the company is expected to increase .com prices to again in 2024.
