Dear customer,
Verisign has notified Gandi of an increase in the registration fee of
.com domains starting in September 1, 2021, at 04:00 UTC. 

As such, we will be carrying over this price increase to our own price
grids and your domain(s) is (are) concerned, for instance: 
    
lojban.com

.com https://www.gandi.net/en-US/domain/tld/com

    Creation: $16.59 (current price $15.50)

    Renewal: $16.59 (current price $15.50)

    Transfer: $13.38  (current price $12.50)

    Restore: $139.10  (current price $130.00)


The domain industry could face further .com price increases in the
coming years: in addition to this year's price increase, Verisign has
the right to increase .com domain fees by up to 7% in 2022 and 2023, as
well in 2026 through 2029.
We’re aware this price increase may have a negative impact on you.
Please understand that Gandi has no choice but to pass on the price
increase. We invite you to read our blogpost to know how much does a
domain really cost and what comes with it.
https://news.gandi.net/en/2020/09/how-much-does-a-domain-cost-and-what-comes-with-it/

As such, we will be carrying over this price increase to our own price
grids.

Based on our current pricing (grid A), a .com domain costs $15.50. Let's
consider how much you might pay over the next 9 years if Verisign
proceeds with all the approved increases (calculations based on 7%
maximum approved percentage increase):
Now => $15.50
2021, Sept 1 => $16.59
2022 => $17,75
2023 => $19
2024 => $19
2025 => $19
2026 => $20.33
2027 => $21.75
2028 => $23.27
2029 => $24.90
9 years renewing: $181.59

We strongly encourage you to renew your domain(s) before August 31, 2021
in order to benefit from the current price for the longest registration
period possible.

If your domain name is currently registered for 1 year, you may renew it
for a maximum of 9 years and save $42.09 ! 

Now => $15.50
2021 to 2029 total after 9 years renewing => $139.50 

Please note that you may terminate your contract with Gandi at any time
without any penalty and without any right to compensation.

The Gandi.net team
