If you own a domain name (or a hundred), and your registrar hasn’t bugged you to death about it already, VeriSign, the official overseer for .com and .net domains, is increasing prices on July 1 – 7% for .com and 10% for .net. Hence, your registrar will be passing the increase onto you.
So if you have a few extra bucks lying around, you can beat the increase by renewing your domains before the price goes up next Thursday.
