As we mentioned last year (see here), our rates will not be able to remain unaffected by this. Our increase will begin on October 1st for .com domains, and November 9th for .org domains. They will only affect customers with C,D, and E rates, for which the increase will be €0.20/£0.15/$0.30 per domain and per year for purchases and renewals respectively.

Promotion on .COM and .ORG renewals
In order to help you benefit from current rates, we are having a promotion before the price hike, of 10% off .com and .org renewals for renewal periods from 3 to 10 years.
