Currency Impacts Costs

euro dollar money bags

Unless you’ve been on another planet for the last couple of months you’re probably aware that the global economic situation has been going through “a spot of bother”.

A couple of months ago I mentioned domain pricing, as we were watching the currency markets quite closely. At the time we had no way of knowing how the Euro and the dolllar would match up against each other over time…

So now, unfortunately, we are going to have to raise the price of .com domains by a few cents, as we cannot keep selling them at a loss.

We won’t be increasing the price on .eu or .ie domains for the moment, as we get billed for those in Euro.

I don’t like upping the price, but I’ve no choice!

    It’s a shame NTR, the supermarkets and ESB don’t share your honourable approach to pricing.

    There are usually good reasons behind most things that we do :)
