VeriSign is raising the prices of all dot com and dot net domain names - effective October 1, 2008.

Since VeriSign manages ALL dot com and dot net domains, the price increase will affect every domain registrar and domain owner on Earth.

The wholesale price of a .com domain will go from $6.42 to $6.86 while .net will rise from $3.85 to $4.23.

The pricing increases should come as no surprise since it's all part of the deal that VeriSign negotiated with ICANN back in 2006. The ICANN deal was opposed by those who at the time disagreed with the pricing increase model. The pricing model enables VeriSign to raise domain pricing in at least 4 of 6 years by 7 percent which could lead to a 2012 .com domain price of $7.86.

They are whole sale which domain registrars can get them for. Hence why domain reseller packages are good value.

You can get a .com for just $6.39 at estdomains.com. I haven't personally used them yet but i do know a number of people who use them. Personally, i use domainsite.com which charges $6.99 for a .com.
