.NU - New Policies and Pricing after Registry Transition on September 2, 2013

On September 2, 2013, the .NU domain will transition from WorldNames, Inc. to the new operator .SE Registry.  As such, the policies for the management of .NU Domains will be changing on September 2, 2013: 

In conjunction with the registry back-end change, there will also be changes to pricing and currency.  As of September 2, 2013 the pricing will be as follows:

 

.CO - Global Launch of European Internationalized Domain Names - October 15, 2013

The .CO Registry recently announced the global launch of European Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) for the .CO namespace. Since over 70% of the languages used on the Internet are non-English, IDNs can be an important building block towards creating a truly multilingual Internet. The availability of additional global languages in the .CO namespace is intended to increase local interest and use.

Please read carefully for the full timeline and language tags offered:

European IDNs will be available for registration within the second and third level domains of .co, .com.co, .net.co, .nom.co and any restricted third level domains (.org.co, .mil.co, .gov.co, .edu.co). The registry may have a small portfolio of IDN domains reserved as part of its premium names list. That portfolio will be made available in the upcoming month prior to the launch date. All other IDN .CO domain names will be available for general registration on the launch date. 

 

.BIZ Price Increase - September 1, 2013

NeuStar recently announced that they will also be increasing the annual prices for .BIZ domains starting September 1, 2013.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A REGISTRY (Neustar) PRICE INCREASE ONLY.  HEXONET will not be adding additional margin on top of this price increase.

 

.INFO Price Increase - September 1, 2013

Afilias recently announced that they will also be increasing the annual prices for .INFO domains starting September 1, 2013.
