Dot-com web addresses prices to swell, thanks to sweetheart deal between Uncle Sam, Verisign

[owl]

The planet's 138 million dot-com addresses are going to get significantly more expensive to renew over the next decade thanks to a contract signed between dot-com operator Verisign and the US government.

New dot-com domains are also set to cost more.

Given the enormous value built up behind most dot-coms, Verisign will almost certainly take the opportunity to increase its price each time (it certainly has every other previous time it has been allowed to raise prices). That means that likely dot-com prices looking forward will be:

2019: $7.85
2020: $7.85
2021: $8.40
2022: $8.99
2023: $9.62
2024: $10.29
