But that could also be a lot of difference if someone has 10 or more domains. Maybe it's time to look for a cheaper alternative...maybe <a href="http://www.domainsite.com" rel="nofollow">DomainSite</a>? FYI, DomainSite's Hidden Whois service is much cheaper than NameCheap :) Well, it’s only a few cents difference. But that could also be a lot of difference if someone has 10 or more domains.

That does the $$ paid goes into? Me curious. Why the price increase if it is just a string of text own by someone?

And it was one month NOT too late. ;) Had my domain name less than one month before prices increased! Lucky, but renewal fees sure go up next year when it is time for renewal. :( Luckily I got mine before the price increase. And it was one month NOT too late. ;)

Personally, I will bear the cost. :) @Wayne Liew: it depends to your hosting provider whether they want to pass the cost to their customers or not. Personally, I will bear the cost. :)

So not renewing them at the moment. I use NameCheap.com and they are raising the price on 14 Oct 2007 from $8.88 to $9.29 but because of the number of domains, they gave me a permanent discount coupon (10%) to be used for renewals and new registrations. The latest increase in domain name is negligible if your sites are making money. Moreover there are more important things to be focused on rather than this small amount when you're running an online business. Just my personal opinion.
