Last year .club announced modest price increases for their wholesale registration fees to be implemented July 1, 2019, July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2021.
In light of the current situation they have decided to postpone the wholesale price increase that had been scheduled for July 1, 2020.To clarify, there will not be any .CLUB wholesale price increase during 2020 at all.
Jeff Sass told me, We hope that this one year delay gives some assistance to those affected as we all look forward to a better, more certain time.
In addition, having begun on April 10, 2020 and continuing through June 1, 2020
Restores/Redemptions can be made at $0 charge. Specifically, the standard Restore Fee of $40 will be waived and registrars will not be charged the $40 via our backend registry system.
We have strongly urged our registrar partners to pass this reduction through to customers and charge their registrants $0 for all .CLUB restores during this period.
Other blogs tell me I don’t understand redemption.
I previously said registries offering these ‘free redemptions’ are throwing the ILLEGITIMATE practice of auctioning redemption domains, under the bus.
Headaches for ‘auction’ platforms ahead.
I don’t blame the registries here. The registars got their hand in the ‘screw the little guy’ too. Now they’re getting broken down…from the top, as always.
Still ‘planned increases’ ad Infinitum. Only social grandstanding here. It will resume, as the ‘end-user’ base grows, so does their squeeze. Maximize their profits at the expense of the grunts.
They’ll be a day when a .club costs $100. As every other extension.
Every level of domaining, domainers astray. Living the lie.
