The registries of .cloud, .co.za and .ai domains have notified Gandi of an increase in the registration, renewal, transfer and restoration fees of these three domains starting in April 2021.
As a result, we will be carrying over these price increases to our own prices.
All domain name registrars will be impacted by this price update and each will be announcing their own pricing adjustments in response to it.
We are aware that this price increase may impact you negatively, however, due to the increase in costs, we have no choice but to pass on this pricing increase.
For more information, please see the open letter from Gandi CEO Stephan Ramoin on price increases.
