En una notificación enviada a los registradores por parte de Verisign, a partir del 1 de octubre de 2008 la tasa que han de pagar los registradores por cada dominio .COM o dominio .NET registrado aumentará a $6.86 para dominios .COM y hasta $4.23 para dominios .NET.

Hay que recordar que según un acuerdo entre ICANN y Verisign, los dominios pueden crecer anualmente de precio a un ritmo del 7% para contrarrestar los costes de gestión de los mismos.

La carta enviada a los registradores dice lo siguiente:

VeriSign, Inc. and it’s wholly owned subsidiaries (”VNDS”) is hereby notifying all registrars of a fee change for .com and/or .net domain names effective October 1, 2008. In accordance with our contract, ICANN has already been notified. Details as follows:

1. VNDS’ fee for each annual increment of a new and renewal .com domain name registration and for each transfer of a .com domain name registration from one ICANN-accredited registrar to another will be US $6.86, exclusive of any ICANN Variable Registry-Level Fee (as defined in the .com Registry Agreement) or any other ICANN fee; and

2. VNDS’ fee for each annual increment of a new and renewal .net domain name registration and for each transfer of a .net domain name registration from one ICANN-accredited registrar to another will be US $4.23, exclusive of any ICANN Variable Registry-Level Fee (as defined in the .net Registry Agreement) or any other ICANN fee.
