Dear NameCheap.com client,

In April 2007, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved certain domain registries to increase their prices. Domain registries are the private companies which manage the registration, technical operations, and control the allocation policies of the TLD's for which they are responsible.

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 Sunday, October 14, 2007 as follows:

.com domain renewals, transfers and new registrations: Old pricing $8.88, new pricing $9.29 per year
.net domain renewals, transfers and new registrations: Old pricing $8.88, new pricing $9.29 per year
.org domain renewals, transfers and new registrations: Old pricing $8.88, new pricing $9.29 per year
.info domain renewals, transfers and new registrations: Old pricing $8.88, new pricing $9.29 per year
.biz domain renewals, transfers and new registrations: Old pricing $8.88, new pricing $9.29 per year

Historically, NameCheap.com has always been averse to adjusting its prices. As these cost increases are being dictated and charged to us by the registries, we are obligated to comply.

Please rest assured that NameCheap.com will continue to strive to offer the most responsive level of customer service 24×7, and maintain the high level of services which has earned us your business.

On behalf of everyone at NameCheap.com , please accept our sincere thanks and appreciation for the opportunity to continue to serve you as a valued NameCheap.com client.
