NEW YORK - Wholesale prices for Internet addresses ending in
.org and .info are going up 2.5 percent in mid-October,
about the same time fees for .com and .net are increasing.
Public Interest Registry, which runs .org, announced the
increase in a letter last week to the Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers, the Internet's key oversight
agency. Afilias Ltd., which runs .info, also disclosed its
plans last week.
The per-name fee is what PIR and Afilias collect annually
from registrars, the companies that sell domain names on
their behalf. Such charges generally are incorporated into
the prices companies, groups and individuals pay to register
names, and they apply to new registrations, transfers and
renewals.
An increase of up to 10 percent a year was authorized under
ICANN's latest contracts with PIR and Afilias, both dated
Dec. 8. PIR and Afilias chose to increase fees by 15 cents,
or 2.5 percent, to $6.15.
The .org increase takes effect Oct. 18, and .info on Oct.
15.
