Namesilo announces price increase for .COM domains

mikho

The registry, Verisign, will be increasing prices for .COM domains starting on September 1, 2021. This means that unfortunately, NameSilo will need to do the same. We are contacting you because you have active or expired .COM domain(s) in your account.

There is still time to take advantage of the current lower prices by renewing your current domains and registering any new .COM names before September 1.

New Prices - our new prices for .COM domain(s) will be as follows:
Registration:
Current price - $8.99 USD/domain
New price - $9.95 USD/domain

Renewal:
Current price - $8.99 USD/year
New price - $9.95 USD/year

Transfer:
Current price - $8.39 USD/domain
New price - $8.99 USD/domain

Mitigation: we are advising you renew all the .COM domain(s) you wish to keep before September 1st in order to renew at the current prices.

I'm holding my domains at Dynadot. I think it's cheaper than Namesilo for couple of cents.

All the cheap Donuts domains (.party and so on) went up a few months ago. They are still fairly cheap but no longer such throwaways as before.

I need to consolidate my domains into 1 registrar, I'm all over the place.
I have some with Dynadot, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Njalla, Amazon, and Google.

How is Google domains? I am with Namesilo and would like to move to Google. Since price at Google is costlier than Namesilo, I would like to renew at Namesilo for few more years in advance and transfer the domains to Google.

Google Domains is fine, but as you pointed out, it's a bit pricey compared to most other registrars.

I did got notification email to renew domains before Sept 1st and lock-in savings. But that was not just namesilo. It came from openprovider and dynadot too!

Bad idea, don't.

FYI just asked Porkbun support about .com prices, they also said they will be raising their prices (to something around 9.13 dollars a year)

yup, when the registry (verisign) is increasing the base price, everyone will will increase it! sooner or later.

Porkbun's price hike is official now..

We're raising our price on .com domains on September 1, 2021 from $8.58 to $9.13. This is due to a wholesale cost increase by the .com registry. You can still register, renew, or transfer .com domains at $8.58 until September 1.

Regardless who your registrar is, friendly reminder, y'all got two more days to renew at current prices! ^^"
