As you may be aware, a few months ago PIR (the registry that handles .ORG) increased its pricing to the registrars as allowed by its contract with ICANN.
We did not increase our pricing straight away as we wanted to see if we could fully absorb the increase, now a couple of months have passed and weighing up the figures we will need to increase the pricing by 15 cents ($0.15) for a renewal, transfer or registration. This increase is still less that the registry increase to us of 40+cents so we are absorbing some of the increase ourselves.
As we have previously stated to our reseller base over the years, we will not inflate our pricing without good reason (greediness for instance or to simply increase profits) or registry increases, we stand by this statement.
This increase will take effect on Wednesday 5th September 2012.
