Everything that has changed
- Pricing
Verisign takes another permitted .com increase
Verisign applied one of its contractually permitted annual .com wholesale increases. At-cost registrars such as Cloudflare passed it through within days and their retail prices moved in lockstep. The retail tier mostly absorbed it into a larger scheduled rise, which is why the gap between the cheap and expensive registrars widened in dollars while narrowing in percentage terms.Logged in the domain registrars comparisonAlso affects porkbunAlso affects namecheapAlso affects godaddy - Pricing
Migrated Google Domains customers hit standard Squarespace pricing
The Google Domains book moved to Squarespace across 2023–24 at grandfathered rates. By early 2025 most of those registrations had renewed at Squarespace's standard flat pricing, which on a .com is roughly double what Google charged. Squarespace did not raise prices so much as stop honouring an acquired price list, and it drove a visible wave of transfers to Cloudflare and Porkbun.Logged in the domain registrars comparisonAlso affects squarespace domainsAlso affects porkbun
How this changelog is kept
Events are written by hand and dated to the day the change took effect, not the day we noticed. Each one names the tools it affects, so a shared change — a cloud provider raising egress prices across four products — appears on every profile it touches rather than being duplicated four times.
Everything here also flows into the site-wide changelog, which is the cross-tool feed of what is moving in developer infrastructure pricing.
