VANCOUVER, Wash. --
Internet users may not realize it, but the price of purchasing domain
names increased seven percent for everyone due to a recent contract
renegotiation between Verisign and ICANN. Now, MyDomain, the Internet
domain name and Web Hosting powerhouse, offers business and home users
alike an easy and affordable solution to combat these industry price
increases with its new Multi-Year transfer tool. MyDomain offers an
affordable Multi-Year transfer tool that allows anyone with a domain to
transfer the name to MyDomain for up to nine years -- and avoid future
registry price increase over the coming years. MyDomain's Multi-Year
transfer tool allows domain registrants to lock in their domain names
for nine years at an average price of just $7.28 per year.
The price that registrar companies pay for a domain name has
increased by seven percent as the result of a recently renegotiated
contract between Verisign, the registry that controls .com names, and
ICANN, the governing body for domain names. As a result across the
industry, consumers can expect low price domain registration companies
to raise their pricing. MyDomain Multi-Year transfer solution gives
consumers a way to fight back on these increases:
MyDomain's Multi-Year transfer tool is just $7.99 and adds an
additional year to the user's current registration. Additional years
can be added for as little as $6.99 plus a $0.20 ICANN (Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) fee per year when
transferred in bulk. Single transfers are $7.99 for the initial year
and $8.95 plus a $0.20 ICANN fee for additional years.
"MyDomain's mission is to provide our customers with the most
comprehensive set of domain hosting and registration services available
today at the best possible value. MyDomain offers some of the lowest
price options in the entire industry -- and provides more value and
free services for our customers than much higher priced registrars,"
said Clint Page, CEO of MyDomain. "With our new Multi-year transfer
tool, users can transfer a name to MyDomain, locking in today's low
pricing for nine additional years and avoiding future registry price
increases. For businesses and home users who have important domain
names that they know they want to keep ownership of, locking them in
now for nine additional years will result in a huge cost savings in the
long run."
