Hello,

Does any one know the ICANN selling price of .Com and .Net Domains to its registrars?

Thanks!

I believe your charged the ICANN fee and that's it, not really sure though.

So I would assume $0.20 a domain, although getting ICANN accredited is a long and tedious process.

Verisign is the company who managed the registration of .net/.com domains.

ICANN gets a share of 0.20 cents per domains from the respective registeries.

Alright so anyone here know how much Verisign takes?

It can't be too much, and it seems they manage a bit more then just .com and .net

.com | .net | .tv | .jobs | .cc | .name

Actually what I want to know is the registrar level cost for price for a domain name or in other words what I'm asking is;

What is the Verisign selling price of .Com and .Net Domains to its registrars?

The variable cost attributable to ICANN Accredited Registrars can be categorized as follows:
.Com $6.00
.Net $4.25
.Org $6.00
.Info $5.75
.Biz $5.30

All prices are per domain per year.

Forgot to mention:
.Org - (Current Promo – US$ 2.00 / year for Registrants from specific developing nations)
.Info - (Current Promo – 1 year Registration US$ 1.00)

Could you provide us with were you got this information?

all over internet its spreaded .. you just need to do google.. It was in my inbox and I queried it sometimes back with a ICANN specialiest.

Could you provide us with were you got this information?

There are registry (Verisign) fees and ICANN fees.

If you are filthy rich, you can become a ICANN accredited registrar. I would go with a domain reseller instead.

You can be one if you have about 1000-5000 domains for a start.

http://www.logicboxes.com/ - they will help you out.

ICANN doesn't sell any domains, it merely charges a $0.20 fee per domain registered. It's the registry selling them. The registry for .com and .net is VeriSign.

You can be one if you have about 1000-5000 domains for a start. I would expect someone with 10K-20K to get ICANN accredited instead.

Cost Price:

.COM: 6.86 + 0.2 = 7.06
.NET: 4.98 + 0.2 = 5.18
.ORG: 6.77 + 0.2 = 6.97

The variable cost attributable to ICANN Accredited Registrars can be categorized as follows:
.Com $6.00
.Net $4.25
.Org $6.00
.Info $5.75
.Biz $5.30

All prices are per domain per year.

This information is at least 2 years old, correct information is


Domains Pricing
COM $ 7.06
NET $ 5.18
ORG $ 6.95
INFO $ 6.95
BIZ $ 6.42
NAME $ 6.20

This was published by resellerclub on 12th March, at that time icann fee was 20 cents, today it's 18 cents, so, deduct 2 cents from previous pricing.
.biz is incorrect, the price was risen a few months ago, i'm unsure on the amount

Not strictly 100% correct, the price decrease is only if you sign the new RAA released last month.

Those that have signed it, now 18 cents, and a new 5 year RAA contract, those that havent as yet, still 20cents.
