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%.


Entering the Donuts EAP for previously protected name collision domains are domains in a gTLD category that has a familiar ring to it : Fun & Generic. We had to wrack our brains to think of where we'd heard that one before but then we remembered! That's how we described ourselves on our online dating profile.

Anyway, here's the list of the extensions that qualify as Fun & Generic, many of which we may consider for the next revision of the dating profile.

The pricing for this is a little tricky, but here's how it goes:

Day 1 (6/24/2015 at 16:00 UTC) : +$12,667; approximately
Day 2 (6/25/2015 at 16:00 UTC) :   +$4,222; approximately
Day 3 (6/26/2015 at 16:00 UTC) :   +$1,778; approximately
Day 4 (6/27/2015 at 16:00 UTC) :      +$945; approximately
Days 5 through 7 (from 6/28 at 16:00 UTC until 6/30 at 16:00 UTC) : +189; approximately

Six new gTLDs are entering the General Availability phrase tomorrow, Wednesday 6 Aug at 9am PDT (16:00 UTC), and will be available for registration by all at standard prices.

Note: You don't need to wait until GoLive begins to register your domain: we strongly encourage you to pre-register now. We will then submit the order on your behalf at the earliest possible moment, in the order they are received. As always, if the registration is not successful, we will automatically refund your prepaid account (and will refund to your external funding source upon request).

The GoLive prices of a one-year registration at A rates are as follows:

Two newcomers are elbowing their way into the list of the more colorful new gTLDs: .fail and .wtf.

Is this an ill-fated attempt to capitalize on those new-fangled meme things the internets keep referring to? A free-speech zone where shock and bafflement can be candidly expressed by all? Only time will tell.

In other, slightly more boring news, .financial and .limited are entering Sunrise as well. Businessfolk, go to town.

Here's the list of all four new extensions, accompanied by links to the TLD pricing pages as well as Sunrise, Landrush and General Availability (GoLive) prices, all at A rates:

  • .FAIL $158.68 | $178.68 | $38.34
  • .FINANCIAL $171.68 | $191.67 | $63.04 
  • .LIMITED $158.68 | $178.68 | $38.34
  • .WTF $158.68 | $178.68 | $38.34
