Domain price increases
No one likes price increases. That includes us here at WHC. That’s why our prices for domains are as low and competitive as possible. But this also means that when our suppliers, the registries, increase their prices for domains, it also affects us, and we have to adjust our pricing accordingly. Unfortunately, this is one of those times.
In the following months, starting August 1st, 2023, domain registries will be increasing the prices of some popular domain extensions, notably .COM and .CA. Here’s what is changing:
| Extension | Date (price change) |
Current prices | New prices | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Registration / Transfer | Renewal | Registration / Transfer | Renewal | ||
| SITE | Aug 1st, 2023 | $38.99 | $44.99 | $40.99 | $54.99 |
| TECH | Aug 1st, 2023 | $64.99 | $77.99 | $64.99 | $86.49 |
| SPACE | Aug 1st, 2023 | $23.48 | $31.30 | $31.99 | $42.99 |
| WEBSITE | Aug 1st, 2023 | $24.99 | $33.99 | $31.99 | $42.99 |
