Fee charged by ICANN

This mandatory fee is charged by ICANN (Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers: www.icann.org). and becomes effective on November 1, 2004. It is 25 cents per domain name registration year. Thus, the fee on a one year .com registration would be 25 cents. The fee would be 50 cents for a two year registration (i.e. 25 cents times 2). Additional years would be at 25 cents per year.

ICANN fees apply to .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, and .name.

used to be $0.18-0.24 depending on the volume of domains a registrars own.

it seems it will be fixed 0.25 in near future.

oh well, it'll not make a huge difference

The big trick here that most people don't realize is that before November 1,2004, GoDaddy used to eat that fee. Now the customer pays for it, and Godaddy makes an extra $0.18 per domain. :bandit:
