For now - but surely they too will increase as part of this. What are the rates after the increase which will impact every registry?

  Every registrar* Registry is like verisign owning .com Registrar is all of the people who sell you .com domains, by having a contract with the registry.

    Funnily I even looked up this distinction before writing because I very much know of the difference (see my comment history) but wrote exactly the wrong one. Oh well. Yes I meant registrar, not the TLD registry.

  Cloudflare upcoming price changes -- yes, they like other registrars will be affected. The announcement page might be behind a login, couldn't seem to link it directly .com $9.15 -> $9.77 .xyz $9.33 -> $10.18 .org $10.11 (today's price... not affected?) .net $10.10 (today's price... not affected?)

Wow. What is porkbun and how is it so much cheaper? Is this worth transferring over?

  Domains are a loss leader product for everyone in the internet/hosting industry. Porkbun’s goal is to get you to buy secondary products.
  - morkalork 3y ago
    Pretty much. Everyone wants to upsell you on their hosting, page creation and blogging tools where they have ridiculous margins. How much disk space and bandwidth do you think a random small business or Jane Rando's recipe blog actually use vs. what they're being charged for? Not to mention things like "brand protection" where they'll do you a solid and buy/squat your domain on the .xxx and .sucks tlds for extra $$ each month.

    This is true, but Porkbun couldn't be further from the big registrars like GoDaddy in their approach. It is actually difficult to buy a domain on GoDaddy for most people without getting sucked in to buying extras, whereas Porkbun barely even suggests extras at any point since I've been a user, and what are extras other places are offered for free.

  FWIW, I like their pricing and overall marketing approach and transferred my domains over a few months ago. Great experience overall.

  I've been slowly migrating all of my domains over and have been very happy with them. Lower prices, faster website, almost ridiculously clean interface. Even has passkey support.

Did they react to the announcement yet and said it'll stay that way? Otherwise that's not very useful so soon after the announcement.
- petecooper 3y ago
  It was more a data point for compare & contrast, to be fair. I'm a Porkbun user but not blinkered to other registrars.

Also increasing due to Verisign: "We expect our pricing to change from $9.73 to around $10.37 on September 1, so don't wait to lock in our low rate today!"
