moniker Moniker price increased again? .COM Domain reg. from $6.95 to $7.99 to $8.99

[syed]

Earlier I remember they used to give special domain registration pricing to DNF members, but it seems like the price is same for everyone. I know every registrar including Moniker increased do prices by a $1 due to fee hike but when did Moniker increase again?

Godaddy is still $7.59 while Moniker is $8.99. Does anyone know if Moniker is giving special price to dnf members or if they just discontinued it?

I am no longer getting and special pricing, 8.99 for a .com

I have been looking over at godaddy, with all the coupon codes they have and crazy specials.
Those dollars add up each month in renewals.
I no longer reg a fresh name with Moniker when they are cheaper elsewhere.
I like moniker and use their escrow service, but that can be done through other services.

Yep. They're still competitive with other TLDs but not .com - you can still get some great bargains with GoDaddy's coupon codes.

Every time Reg fees increase, I renew less and less domains, allowing them to drop.

I dropped 100 domains from my portfolio just this year, names that I felt wouldn't move and had no traffic.

Probably to pay for the fancy site upgrade

Just noticed it as well....Too bad they have done this. After transferring names to them over the years and reg'ing with them after getting special pricing I find it a little disconcerting that they have arbitrarily raised pricing...again. Nothing emailed to let you know either. I guess I should look at it as "I was lucky to have gotten it while I did"?? :lol:

I don't think it is a shock to most that this would happen after the oversee takeover...well not to me anyway. Don't think it really takes care of the domain people but maybe they think the end-user market is the way to go.

Miss the old days when Monte sometimes answered the phone and they were a registrar that valued the domaining community. I just don't get that feeling anymore.

Whatever....Tired of getting nickel and dimed to death.

Moniker raised its prices along with every other registrar back in July when VeriSign had their price increase. Of course volume discounts still apply.

Please email me directly at [email protected] with your account details and I’ll check it out!

I'd rather pay the extra $1.50 and not have to deal with GoDaddy. I move all of my domains to Moniker and Fabulous as soon as I can.

You can still get $7.99 or less at dynadot:

So why spend more if you don't have to...

I second you.
