The price of .com, .net, and .org domains had been frozen for a long period, up until 2020. In 2020 ICANN agreed to allow Verisign to raise prices by 7% per year, until 2024. There will then be another freeze until 2026. With both the wholesale price rises, and the lower US exchange rate, then GST taken into account, the following price changes will occur starting Oct 1 2022:
| Base Price | Discounted Price (with hosting) |
|
| .com | 24.90 | 19.90 |
| .net | 24.90 | 19.90 |
| .org | 24.90 | 19.90 |
| .biz | 29.90 | 24.90 |
| .info | 29.90 | 24.90 |
The above is GST inclusive. The discounted price will be in effect for all domains as long as you have at least one active hosting product under your account.

Unless there is a drastic change in AUD - US conversion rates, we anticipate the current pricing to remain until 2026.
If you are looking for a cheaper option, the AUDA's direct .au domains will be coming on October 4, which will be open for any individual, or any business that can show a connection to australia.
