.UK Domains - One (1) Year Registrations - Effective May 1, 2012

Nominet is on track to introduce single and multi-year (1 - 10 year) pricing for .UK registrations starting May 1, 2012. The new multi-year registration periods offer greater choice and flexibility for registrants including longer registration periods. Long registration periods make managing .UK domains easier and less worrisome.

Please note, that a 1-Year registration is more expensive than a 2-year registration. HEXONET suggests resellers promote the standard 2-year registration as it is the lower cost option for customers.

.UK Pricing (1-Year Registrations / 1-Year Renewals):

• Reseller: 8.69* (net: 7.30) GBP per Domain/Year
• Premium: 7.62* (net: 6.40) GBP per Domain/Year
• Platinum: 5.95* (net: 5.00) GBP per Domain/Year

HEXONET will continue to offer 2-Year registrations and renewals as DEFAULT, as this is the cheaper solution. Should you wish to register and renew for single or multi-year periods, then this must be done manually for each registration.

.PH Domains - Price Increase - Effective May 1, 2012

The dotPH Registry is moving to an EPP based registry system. In addition to this move to EPP, the registry is also raising prices. Regrettably the price increase is large enough that it requires HEXONET to also raise our price for .PH Domains.

As of May 1, 2012, the following price increases for .PH, .com.PH, .net.PH and .org.PH will take effect:

• Reseller: Price of 41.53* (net: 34.90) USD increased to 47.48* (net: 39.90) USD per Domain/Year
• Premium: Price of 37.49* (net: 31.50) USD increased to 45.82* (net: 38.50) USD per Domain/Year
• Platinum: Price of 29.75* (net: 25.00) USD increased to 43.91* (net: 36.90) USD per Domain/Year

.PT - Available to Anyone Worldwide - Effective May 1, 2012

As of May 1, 2012, anyone around the world will be able to register a .PT domain.

As of May 1, 2012, domains under .PT can be registered by anyone on a first-come-first-served basis.

IMPORTANT - .ORG Price Increase - RENEW PRIOR to July 1, 2012 and SAVE!

Nominet, the official registry for .UK, recently announced that the current fixed 2-year registration period for .UK Domain names will change on May 1, 2012 to a flexible registration term between 1 - 10 years. The new multi-year registration periods will offer greater choice for registrants, who can now secure their domain for longer periods and thus elminate the renewal worries of the past.

.UK Pricing (1 Year Registrations/ 1 Year Renewals):

• Reseller: 8.69* (net: 7.30) GBP per Domain/Year
• Premium: 7.62* (net: 6.40) GBP per Domain/Year
• Platinum: 5.95* (net: 5.00) GBP per Domain/Year

Though one-year flexible registrations will soon be possible, the standard two year 2-year registrations/renewals periods are actually cheaper. Resellers should promote the standard 2-year registration as the lower cost option.

HEXONET will continue to offer 2 Year Registrations and Renewals as Default, as this is the cheaper solution. Should you wish to register and renew for smaller periods, then this must be changed individually.

.CN Domains - Important Changes and Information

CNNIC has slightly loosened their restrictions policies for foregin entities registering .CN domains. Those interested in registering .CN domains should carefully read and follow the steps below:

Step 1: Request a .CN domain via the Control Panel or API
Step 2: Prepare the following documents:

• Copy of the Business License of Registrant
• Identification card from the Admin Contact applying for the domain name. (e.g.: Passport, Driver License, Identification card)
• A signed copy of the Letter of Commitment
• A screenshot of the online database used to verify the Business Name of the Applicant.
• The registration details need to match exactly the supporting documentation. (Registrant name has to be identical to the Business License)

Step 3: Compress (ZIP) all the documents and email them to cn-reg@ispapi.net for validation.
Step 4: Documents are validated by the registrar before being forwarded to CNNIC for final validation. Successful validation by the registry will result in a CREATE::SUCCESSFUL event (PLEASE NOTE: Validations that fail will NOT BE PROVIDED A REFUND).

.NAME Domains - Accepting Numbers and Hyphens starting April 2, 2012

We were just informed by VeriSign, that ICANN (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has approved VeriSign's registry service request to remove pure numbers and combinations of numbers and hyphens from the list of second-level reserved names.

As a result, Verisign will be making updates to the .NAME naming space that will enable the following registration:

• Add second level domain names with pure numbers and/or combinations of numbers and hyphens
• Add domain names with pure numbers and/or combinations of numbers and hyphens at the second level of a third level domain name;
• Add standard and premium Defensive Registrations with pure numbers and/or combinations of numbers and hyphens; and

Trustee Pricing: 0.83* (net price 0.70) EUR per Domain/Month

X-PM-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 1
X-TF-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 1
X-WF-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 1
X-YT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 1

Similar to .FR, there is pre-validation of all requested Trustee domains by a Trustee laywer. Once the service is available, HEXONET's AFNIC TLD Trustee lawyer will begin pre-validating AFNIC TLD domains registering with HEXONET's AFNIC Trustee Service. These registrations with the Trustee Service stay in "requested" status until validated by our Trustee lawyer. Please note that validation typically takes 24 hours during the week and can take up to 72 hours over the weekend.

Validation is required to ensure that all legal risks for the Trustee lawyer are mitigated. Thank you very much for your understanding in this matter.

Since the liberalization of the registration eligibility process, much has happened in the .PRO Domain Name Space. The Registry was recently purchased by Afilias - one of the top leading registry services providers (Read the official Press Release). Soon thereafter, the Registry partnered with GoDaddy.com and held a premium auction for one, two, and three character domain names.

The seven-day event was a smashing success, which saw opening bids as high as $5,000 USD and final single domain sales as high as $40,000 USD (GO.pro). Other notable .PRO sales from the auction include XXX.pro, which sold for $18,903 (with 125 bids) and Job.pro, selling for $5,456 (with 91 bids). RegistryPro is planning another auction to be held in the second quarter of 2012 (Read the offcial Press Release). Stay tuned!

HEXONET is in full support of the new direction of the .PRO registry and is also in full support our good friend Karim Jiwani - President of Registry.PRO. To celebrate the great start of the new .PRO, HEXONET would like to offer two .PRO promotions.
