Prices increase for South African internet domains

South Africa's ZA Central Registry has informed registrars about a price
hike for .ZA domain registrations and renewals. Registering or renewing
co.za, org.za, net.za, and web.za domains will cost more from 01 March,
according to MyBroadband. ZACR CEO Lucky Masilela said the wholesale price
of registrations through the extensible provisioning protocol (EPP) system
would become ZAR 45, while legacy registrations would increase to ZAR 90.
Currently. EPP costs ZAR 35, while legacy registrations cost ZAR 65.88.

These price increases were approved in November 2014, and were originally
set to take effect on 16 February. Further price increases to legacy
registrations of ZAR 10 per year will be implemented annually from 01 March,
until the price reaches ZAR 130 in 2019.
