VeriSign, Inc. and it's wholly owned subsidiaries ("VNDS") is hereby
notifying all registrars of a fee change for .com and/or .net domain names
effective October 15, 2007. In accordance with our contract, ICANN has
already been notified. Details as follows:
1. VNDS' fee for each annual increment of a new and renewal .com domain name
registration and for each transfer of a .com domain name registration from
one ICANN-accredited registrar to another will be US $6.42, exclusive of any
ICANN Variable Registry-Level Fee (as defined in the .com Registry
Agreement) or any other ICANN fee; and
2. VNDS' fee for each annual increment of a new and renewal .net domain name
registration and for each transfer of a .net domain name registration from
one ICANN-accredited registrar to another will be US $3.85, exclusive of any
ICANN Variable Registry-Level Fee (as defined in the .net Registry
Agreement) or any other ICANN fee.
Except for the above-described fee changes, all other terms of the relevant
agreements (.com and .net Registry Agreements and Registry-Registrar
Agreements) remain unchanged.
Time to renew your domains now, possibly for a couple of years as I would expect they'll use every ounce of their ICANN-allotted power to increase their fees 7% every year.
