It's always with great remorse that we make this type of announcement but effective 23 January 2017, in order to comply with our contractual obligations, we have increased registration and renewal prices on 76 TLDs, on all price grids.

The reason for the price increase largely has to do with the fact that we pay most new gTLDs in US Dollars and exchange rates have recently fluctuated such that we were compelled to increase rates on affected TLDs.

Generally, we don't adjust our prices based on minor exchange rate fluctuations, however the variations this time were too significant to be able to avoid adjusting our rates. So it's out of necessity that we are notifying you of the following new rates on the following TLDs:

Taxes are not included in the above prices, which unless otherwise indicated, apply both to renewals and creations.

Besides the TLDs listed above, the following TLDs are also impacted, though only in grids B through E:

.asia, .org, .ag, .tv, .tel, .ws, .mobi:

  • Grids B and C: +10% on transfers only
  • Grids D and E: +10% on all operations

One last TLD, .biz, is also impacted but only on Grid E. The prices for all operations have been increased by 10%.

A new promotion from the Minds + Machines Registry means 50-75% off until 23:59 UTC on December 31, 2015 January 31, 2016 some TLDs that compliment each other well.

Minds + Machines has a whole suite of interrelated TLDs. You might call this kind of relationship synergy, which is a word the square community uses to mean "works well together." Not being squares ourselves, we prefer to think of these TLDs like fine wines. In that spirit, we created a pairing guide for this promotion.

Here's a sample:

.beer
Pairs well with:
- .cooking for beer-bread and beer-battered onion rings
- .garden for bench-seating and Oktoberfest
- .rodeo for American-flag t-shirts
- .surf for beach parties
Do not pair with:
- .vodka, no .beer before liquor …

.cooking
Pairs well with:
- .garden for vegetarians
- .vodka for pasta sauce
Do not pair with:
- .horse (unless you are French)

.fashion
Pairs well with:
- .fishing for rubber overalls
- .garden for breezy summer outfits and string-light illuminated cocktail parties
Do not pair with:
- .rodeo

But our favorite is .horse
Pairs well with:
- .rodeo for obvious reasons
- .fishing for horseback casting
- .surf for those who hang four (horse don't have toes)
- .vodka but only for Russian equestrians
and the recommendation of the house:
- .yoga for Horse Yoga

Here's the whole list of TLDs included in this promotion, in alphabetical order, of all the TLDs on sale with their promotional prices per year (each is normally available for $38.34) in A rates :

Web Summit was created in Dublin in 2010 by Paddy Cosgrave. This year for the fifth annual summit, more than 30,000 attendees and 1,000 speakers. Over the course of just three days, twenty-one cycles of conferences covering the themes you might expect in a tech conference like design, marketing, e-commerce, Big Data (how could it not, really), as well as topics you might not expect, like mobile healthcare and the question of whether we actually live in a post-capitalist society.


So, to celebrate both this amazing event and the beautiful city of Dublin where Web Summit is taking place for the last time before it moves to Lisbon next year (a beautiful city as well, don't get us wrong), we've concocted our own Happy Hour special.

Through Web Summit, from November 2 through November 5, domains in the .BEER, .PUB, .BAR and .IRISH TLDs are at half price if you register them for one year during Happy Hour. But, of course, Happy Hour doesn't last all night. This deal is only valid on each of these days between the hours of 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM in Dublin (same as UTC).

 

So, join us for a .beer (in an .irish .pub or .bar) during Web Summit, and if you're lucky enough to be one of the 30,000 attendees, tweet us @gandi_net so we can meet up for Irish beer IRL too!

 

Find your domain with one of these TLDs:

As Oktoberfest enters full swing, .beer is getting ready to make its appearance, joined by .surf.

There is no Landrush phase for these TLDs, so we strongly encourage you to preregister now, before they enter the Golive phase this Thursday, 25 September, at 9am PDT (16:00 UTC).

The Golive price of a one-year registration at A rates will be $38.34 for either of these new gTLDs.
