The .COM price hike + Limited Time Registration/Renewal Discounts

Hello a Ninth Commerce Client,

Since the revised contract was signed between Verisign and ICANN to maintain and manage the .COM registry in 2006, the price for the most popular TLD in the world has increased consistently over the past few years. And on January 14th, .COM prices will rise once again by a further $0.51, and .NET prices by $0.55.

With this contract, Verisign has the authority to increase .COM prices by 7% every year with a 6 month notice to its Registrars. Furthermore, a similar contract signed in June last year for .NET allows for a rise of 10%.

These price increases mean that every Registrar, including yourselves, will be forced to increase their prices, so, effective January 14th, 2012, for Ninth Commerce the pricing of the TLDs .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO, .US and .NAME, and for Ninth Commerce Clients, the pricing of just the TLDs .COM, .NET and .BIZ will increase by 50 cents to $13.45. The prices remain very competitive, and you'll notice, are less than the actual increases being imposed by the domain registry VeriSign.

At a Ninth Commerce, we are able to provide some of the most competitive domain reselling rates thanks to the power of all Ninth Commerce users collectively buying and selling domains together, and so for the next 9 days until the price increases, we have been able to negotiate some exclusive discounted rates for Ninth Commerce users making early renewals and new registrations/transfers.

Just $12.70 Per Year -- thats .25 Off our regular price

These exclusive Ninth Commerce Discounts end at 00:00GMT on 14th January 2012.

USE Discount CODE: 870

Therefore if you have any domain names that are approaching their expiry dates, or that you are considering purchasing new, we would recommend you register or extend them within the next 7 days to take advantage of this special lower than normal pricing, prior to the price rises.

Note: We will be running a few domain promotions this year, to beat all competitors -- so please look for thses emails as we expect the discounts to be 15% Off or more for new and multi-year renewals.

We hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas & New Year, and we look forward to continuing to work with you in 2012.
