Did the price of .com domain registrations go up? I don't remember them being more than $15 but two of my .coms up for renewal at Namecheap are over $17 now.

I've stuck with Hover for my own stuff, knowing I pay more (ease of use/inertia), but this week I'm reconsidering. IDK, Porkbun?

I used to use Hover! And I hear good things about Porkbun. The only consistent thing in tech is that every few years the services you use start to suck and you have to find new ones.

Truth! Still, if it only works out to a couple of bucks, I'll just stay there. Haven't done the math yet.

I think they went up last year. Remember receiving an email from Namecheap.

Prices have gone up at NameCheap for various domains endings, I have an .io domain that kinda hurt to pay after the recent increase but I don't want to let it go πŸ˜… I always use a coupon that gives me 20% off on renewals and has been working forever.

We always use @cloudflare.social $10.44 for .com with security thrown in for free. What’s not to like?

Oh nice I'll have to look into that. The fact that I already get so much value from Cloudflare and pay it so little always has be concerned.

Agree, and they make no markup on the domains either. :)
