Verisign will raise the wholesale price of .com domains by 7% to $10.97 plus ICANN’s 20-cent fee starting November 1. Registrars charging near-cost prices, including Cloudflare, NameBright, Porkbun, Unstoppable Domains, Spaceship and GoDaddy’s Domain Discount Club Pro, are expected to pass on the increase. Registrants can renew or transfer domains for up to 10 years before the deadline to lock in current pricing, and many registrars currently offer transfer specials below the upcoming renewal fee.

SIDN, the registry operator for .nl and co-developer of the Hello Registry platform, commissioned NielsenIQ to study why domain registration intent among 18 to 29 year olds has fallen sharply since 2023. The survey of more than 500 people found young entrepreneurs often start on social media platforms and only register a domain once their business gains traction. Respondents still valued websites as professional, permanent and independent of platform algorithms, but cited cost, complexity and time as barriers to earlier adoption. SIDN suggests AI-assisted website tools could lower these barriers and eventually boost domain uptake among this group.
