    I just got this in my email inbox:

    1&1 Internet Inc. appreciates your business, and we hope that you are
    happy with our services.

    We are writing today to inform you that it has become necessary for us
    to increase the rates for some domains due to price increases by the major
    domain registries.

    we have made changes to our pricing structure in accordance with the
    changes in the industry.


    For domain renewals and orders as of November 2, 2007, the following domain
    rates will apply:

    * .com, .net, .us, .org, .info, .name domains will be increased from $5.99
    to $6.99 per year


    1&1 is committed to offering very competitive prices and professional
    services in the domain environment and we hope to continue to meet and
    surpass your service expectations.

    "We are writing today to inform you that it has become necessary for us

    What, everyone else lowered them since the ICANN fee was lowered / partially refunded. Unworthy excuse!

    My guess is that they are mad that people are using their domain service without purchasing any additional services. While they may have been their door buster, it may not have had the conversion they wanted on their other products.

    Yes, the .com/.net registry (Verisign)is increasing prices by 42 cents in mid-October and registrars are passing on their increased costs.

    Each registrar is a tool. Not all Tools are for the same thing

    1&1 is raising their prices.
    What? You mean they can't make a profit by giving their services away for practically nothing? Who knew!

    Hi,

    A very obvious move from any of the registrar due to price increase of gTLDs from 15th oct 2007
