Due to a recently introduced ICANN domain policy update, the costs of providing the Domain Privacy Protection Service (PPS) will now be subject to a charge of $3.5 per domain name per annum.<\/p>\n
This change will take effect on the 11th May 2015, and will be applied to new and renewed domain names. Whilst price increases are never welcome, this change could provide a new revenue stream for your business.<\/p>\n
The main details of the changes are listed below:<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Charges will only apply to domains with PPS registered or renewed after 11.00AM BST on 11th May 2015, domains registered with PPS or renewed before this date will not be charged should they enable PPS.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When your existing domains with PPS are renewed, you will be notified of changes in the price of PPS, and given the option to enable\/disable the service within your control panel.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Any existing domains without PPS may add the service before 11th May 2015 without charge.<\/p>\n
The benefits of PPS are as follows:<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Details will be hidden from the public WHOIS database.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your customers\u2019 details will be kept private, protecting them against spam and junk mail.<\/p>\n

With new gTLD releases scheduled over the year ahead, the volume of domain registrations is set to continue to grow. The introduction of a paid-for PPS package will enable you to maximise your revenue as a domain reseller.<\/p>\n
