Experiences with Premium Domain Price Hikes?


I own a premium .fun domain, purchased last year for $600. Today, I got an email from Namecheap hinting at a price increase for .fun domains. Does anyone have any information or past experiences about this situation? Given the high costs of these domains, I'd appreciate insights on what I might expect.

I have seen similar pricing strategies for obscure domains from other registars. Generally they entice you with a cheap first year and increase it subsequently. Some registrars make the pricing strategy apparent. I think your option is to shop around and transfer the domain to a cheaper one.
