Comments on: Yet another price increase for the “.org” http://beep.name/2008/05/13/yet-another-price-increase-for-the-org-domain-name-extension/ Everything about domain names and online marketing Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:06:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Jothan Frakes http://beep.name/2008/05/13/yet-another-price-increase-for-the-org-domain-name-extension/comment-page-1/#comment-41382 Jothan Frakes Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:41:25 +0000 http://beep.name/?p=327#comment-41382 I am not here to say I like the price increases that the industry is seeing with the GTLDs, but I do want to mention in mild defense of the looming increases that .org skipped a year of increases where others were doing them. What I am seeing a lot of savvy domain owners do is get their renewals in before the pending wholesale registry fee increases hit. I have found Moniker.com and other registrars have renewal pricing in place to help registrants renew their domains at discounted prices before the increases happen. I would urge people to perform renewals for a maximum term at the current GTLD prices before the 2008 and subsequent years' increases become effective.

The ".org" domain name extension holds a very special status as it mainly serves "not for profit" organizations so this latest price increase is that much more unjustifiable.
