PIR, the .org domain name registry, have announced a price increase in .org effective July 1st 2013.
The new price will push .org to USD$8.25, which is higher than .com! That’s a price increase of $0.55.
Not exactly the New Year message a lot of people would have liked to receive..
As has been reported elsewhere, however, Verisign’s new contract with ICANN does not give them the power to push the price of .com, which is still the largest domain name extension, though they did announce an increase for .net.
