There is another price increase for .COM domains coming into effect this September. Here’s what you can expect and what you can do to get ahead.

Verisign, the registry for .COM domains will be increasing prices for the domain this September for the second year in a row. This price increase applies to new .COM domain registrations, renewals, and transfers to all registrars. This year marks the second price increase under the current contract, so it’s likely you can expect prices to rise again in 2023 and 2024, and from 2026 to 2029. In 2020 we published a blog article about the .COM price caps being removed. 

This means that now is the best time to lock-in your price for your .COM domain if you haven’t already. If you own a .COM domain, renewing now will secure your site for years to come without the added cost. You can quickly renew your .COM domain in the control panel of your account or buys a new .COM domain by searching domain availability.

Current price: 

$15.95/year for new domains, renewals, and transfers

Price as of September 1st 2022:

$16.95/year for new domains, renewals, and transfers
