.com and .net Pricing Increase

June 16th, 2010

Earlier this year, VeriSign® Registry announced that they would be raising prices for select domain name extensions. The price increase will go in to effect on July 1st, 2010. As a result of this price increase, we are in the unfortunate position of having to pass this price increase down to our customers. This notice is to inform you of the changes to our pricing. The price change will affect .com and .net extensions and will increase these domain names by $0.55 per year.

We regret that we have to raise our prices as a result of VeriSign’s® decision. It is our goal to continue to deliver extremely competitive domain name pricing complemented with quality value-added services to our customers, and we will continue to work hard to meet your needs.

Once there, select “custom_functions.php” from the dropbox near the top of the page, just above the text area. Then click the “Edit Selected File” button just to the right. Now, copy the following code and paste it into your text area below everything already there:
