Verisign manages .net domains.
With hundreds of new gTLDs, it’s good to remember the original 3 TLDs, .com, .net and .org.
Verisign manages the first two currently, and their contract grants them consistent annual raises in pricing.
The dot .net base price for registrations and renewals is going up by 50 cents, effective February 1st.
Keep that in mind as you budget your domain portfolio for renewals in 2016.
Currently, there are approximately 15 million dot .net domains, according to Verisign.
That’s almost twice than all of the existing gTLDs combined, per ntldstats.
Ok, but leave .com alone ….. Don’t kill the cash cow
I still like CERTAIN .net’s though. 😉
