Verisign (NASDAQ: VRSN) today announced a 7% increase in .com prices to take effect on September 1, 2023.
…
Under its agreement with ICANN and the U.S. government, Verisign is allowed to increase prices by 7% per year in the last four years of every six-year contract term. This will be the third hike of this contract term, and the company is expected to increase .com prices to $10.26 in 2024.
Would be nice if ICANN changed the agreement a tad .
I have fond memories of Slashdot’s mod system . Members randomly got 5 mod points to up or down vote sometime . Votes were categorized .And that was it . Then metamods would vote on the quality of the votes. I wrote in the past tense but I guess /dot is still around .
