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 cloudflare registrarAlso affects porkbunAlso affects namecheap - Deprecation
GoDaddy gates production API access
GoDaddy restricted its Domains API to accounts holding at least ten domains or an active Discount Domain Club membership. Integrations that had run for years on small accounts started returning authorisation errors with no migration path, and because the OTE environment stayed open, the failures only appeared in production.SourceLogged in the domain api providers comparison - Deprecation
GoDaddy narrows API access for small accounts
GoDaddy restricted its domain API to accounts holding a meaningful number of domains or an active paid Discount Domain Club plan, cutting off small-portfolio automation that had worked for years. On this page it matters mainly as a signal about how retail customers are treated. The programmatic consequences are covered on the domain API providers comparison.Logged in the domain registrars comparison
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.
