Important Notice: Upcoming Price Increase for .com Domains (effective 1st Sept 2024)

We want to inform you of an upcoming change to the pricing of .com domain registrations and renewals. Due to a ~20% increase in the cost from the domain registry, we will be adjusting our prices accordingly.

What’s Changing?

Starting from 1st September, the price of .com domains will increase from the current rate of $27.50 to $33.00. This adjustment reflects the ~20% increase imposed by the registry / Wholesaler.

Why the Increase?

The registry that manages .com domains has raised its wholesale prices, impacting all domain providers globally. As a result, we are adjusting our pricing to align with these changes while continuing to provide you with the best service possible.

What Should You Do?

If your domain renewal is approaching, you may consider renewing your domain now at the current price of $27.50 before the new pricing takes effect on 1st September. Additionally, you can renew your domain for up to 10 years at the current price. This is a great opportunity to lock in the lower rate for an extended period. If you’re interested, please contact us, and we’ll be happy to make the necessary arrangements for you.

Other Domain Extensions

We’d like to reassure you that this price increase only affects .com domains. Other domain extensions, such as .net, .org, and country-specific domains, are not impacted by this change. Their pricing will remain the same.

We’re Here to Help

If you have any questions or need assistance with your domain renewal, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team. 

Thank you for your continued trust in our services.

Best regards,

David

New Beginnings

For those who don’t know me yet, my name is David. I have enjoyed working with Steve and running 123host during his overseas trips. With about 20 years of experience in the hosting industry, I share Steve’s commitment to customer service and aim to maintain the same light-hearted, helpful approach he is known for—though my sense of humour may not live up to expectations!

You can expect the same level of dedication and care from me as you have experienced with Steve. While I plan to bring some new ideas to the table, the core values and commitment to you, our valued customers, will remain unchanged.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to getting to know each of you and continuing the legacy of excellent service at 123host.

I would like to acknowledge Steve for his many years of dedication to 123host. His passion for delivering excellent customer service with a sense of humour has set a high standard, and I am truly honoured to follow in his footsteps.

Thank you for your trust and support.

Best regards,

David
