Namecheap ups its prices 9% for .com and .xyz this fall. - eviltoast

Having just jumped from Google to Nameheap this is more than mildly frustrating.

edit: apparently this is the result of Verisign putting up their wholesale prices

    The domain registry (basically owner of the domain ending) sets the price.

    Edit: Though it should be mentioned there’s a power above them (ICANN) that has to approve the price.
