MojoHost: Maintaining Transparent Domain Pricing in Response to ICANN’s Price Hike

Dear MojoHost community,

We would like to update you on recent developments in the domain industry that have affected pricing across the board. As many of you may already know, ICANN, the organization responsible for overseeing the Internet’s naming system, has implemented price increases for .COM domains. In light of these changes, we want to provide you with clarity regarding MojoHost’s pricing adjustments and shed light on practices observed within the industry.

First and foremost, MojoHost has made a necessary adjustment to our pricing structure. Our wholesale cost of .COM domains has increased to $10.28, which has resulted in a modest retail price adjustment. Our .COM domain registration pricing has been raised from $9.99 to $10.99. We understand that any price increase can be disconcerting, and we want to assure you that we remain committed to offering the most reasonable .COM domain registrations in the market and always include free domain privacy.

However, it is important to note that not all hosts and domain registrars have approached these changes with the same level of transparency and value. For instance, GoDaddy now offers a “low” promotional rate of $11.99 for the first year, only to renew the domain at a significantly higher rate of $21.99. Additionally, they often charge an extra $9.99 for domain privacy, further increasing the total cost to customers.

At MojoHost, we believe in providing straightforward and transparent pricing. Our focus is on maintaining integrity and ensuring that you receive the best value for your investment. While other providers engage in misleading pricing practices, we are committed to providing consistent and reasonable rates without hidden fees or surprises during renewals.

We also understand the importance of privacy services for domain owners. Unlike many other companies that charge extra for domain privacy, MojoHost includes privacy services at no additional cost. Your personal information should be protected without the need for additional charges.

As industry leaders, we strive to maintain transparency, prioritize your needs, and offer a seamless domain registration and hosting experience. MojoHost remains dedicated to delivering fair pricing and exceptional service, distinguishing us from providers who take advantage of pricing changes to maximize their profits.
