It’s important to keep on top of the stuff you own, especially when someone else decides to get involved.
Domains are no different. And, unfortunately, the registry for over 200 popular domains is raising their prices… so we have to as well.
On October 4, 2024, Identity Digital will increase registration, renewal, and transfer prices on select domains.
If you own a .live, .life, .digital, or any top-level domain (TLD) from Identity Digital, then you could be paying more for registration, renewal, and transfer from October 4, 2024 onwards.
Check out the top domain price changes below:
| Domain | Registration/Transfer | Renewal/Reactivate |
| .live / .news / .games | $29.98 | $31.98 |
| .life | $32.98 | $34.98 |
| .world / .digital / .guru | $36.98 | $38.98 |
| .today | $25.98 | $27.98 |
| .network | $30.98 | $32.98 |
| .agency / .email / .ltd | $26.98 | $28.98 |

Why the increase?
At Namecheap, we partner with loads of registries to bring you a tonne of different top-level domains.
Simply, registries own the rights to the TLDs, which means they decide how they’re sold and who they’re sold through, and then get a cut from the action.
Sometimes, the registries increase their prices, which means we need to increase ours too.
We don’t want to leave you out to dry, though, so it’s important to take advantage of the current price tag by renewing, registering, or transferring your domains before October 4, 2024.
Despite the fact that the standard prices on these domains are increasing, some of our TLDs have promotional prices, which means there is still an opportunity to grab some of them before prices go up. Check out current prices for any TLD on our domain pricing page.
With all of our top-level domains, you’ll still benefit from 24-hour customer support, a free domain privacy subscription, and our other awesome products.
