I got this email saying that mydomain.com was raising their rates do to an increase in registration fees; Did they just not raise their years not long again? This is the email I got: Dear MyDomain Customer, Due to recent registry price increases and in order to continue to provide you the excellent service you expect, we will be raising the renewal price of the following domain extensions by $0.50/year starting July 1, 2013: • .COM • .NET • .ORG • .BIZ • .US • .INFO Act now to beat the price increase. Renew your domains for multiple years to lock in long-term savings. Don’t wait to pay more. Renew your domains now: http://www.mydomain.com/controlpanel/domaincentral/beta/index.bml?cid=1404 Note that if you’re logged in to your account, you can check the current renewal pricing for your domains at the following link: http://www.mydomain.com/domreg/extension-popup.bml?cid=1404 We appreciate your continued loyalty to MyDomain. Best Regards, MyDomain Customer Service www.mydomain.com I guess if you just have 1-2 domains, then it is no big deal, but if you have many domains in your portfolio, then even a small rate hike can turn out to be somewhat exorbitant; and I do not think it even has been a year since their last rate hike, not cool....
You are right, I guess I should have posted it in general area. sorry, my bad; mod feel free to move to general area...
On the side: http://www.verisigninc.com/en_US/news-events/press-room/articles/index.xhtml?artLink=aHR0cDovL2ZlZWRzLm13bmV3c3Jvb20uY29tL2FydGljbGUvcnNzP2lkPTE2NzA1MTU= If MyDomain is also raising their .com prices by then, I guess they're using that as a so-called excuse. Oh well, you can always move elsewhere if needed.
If you are worried about this rate, then transfer your domains to Namesilo or any other registrar that have better price.
