So I just received a lovely email from Namecheap.com. Their long email entails a the reason why they’ll be raising their domain name registrations from $8.88 to $9.29 per year.
Domain registries VeriSign(.com, .net tld’s), Afilias(.info tld),
Neulevel (.biz tld)and Public Interest Registry(.org tld)applied for and
received price increases and have announced they will be raising their
wholesale prices to all registrars including us.In light of that decision, NameCheap.com will be adjusting its pricing on
