Verisign raises the wholesale price of a .com domain from $10.26 to $10.97 a year on Nov 1, 2026, a 7% increase, Domain Name Wire reported when it was announced in April. Registrars pay the wholesale fee, so .com registrations and renewals are likely to rise by about $0.71 a year wherever it's passed on. Verisign's contract allows up to 7% a year in the last four years of each six-year term, which could take the price to $13.42 by the end of this cycle.
