We hope that you and your family are safe and healthy.

.COM domain prices are increased further by the current holder of the domain names Verisign starting from 31st August 2022 for all the registrars. 

What this means is that from 31st August 2022, the prices for .COM domain would increase to be around the following price range:

Registration - 1,400/year

Renewal - 1,400/year

Transfer - 1,400/year

Any registration, renewal, or transfer before 31st August can be done on the current price which is 1,200/year. You can register your domain for a maximum of 10 years. And, renew the domain for a max. validity period of 10 years (i.e. the domain can't have more than 10 years left in the current life cycle).

We have had projected a price increase if the new agreement between Verisign and ICANN was to go in place in the first half of 2020 as in the blog post here:

This also appears to be the second of several more increments to come as they're allowed to increase the price by a maximum of 7% next year and after 2 years gap from 2026-2029. An illustration of the same is as below:

 

Please note the new prices will come into effect on 31st August 2022. The new price will be applicable for registration, renewal and transfer-ins, and restoration.

We urge you to register/renew/transfer your domains on or before 30th August 2022, to get the best pricing.

We thank you for your understanding.
