.com/.net domain price increases!
Surprise! Think there will never be a price hike? Don’t worry, it won’t affect most of us, at least not yet.
What’s Verisign’s “verdict” to increase the price?
1) Increasingly heavy usage on the domain name server query system - a whopping 30 billion query per day at time of writing.
2) Higher maintenance cost for security to defend cyber attacks

Look at the bright side, they seem to have a pretty solid reason to increase the price. And mostly your web hosting companies which resell the domain won’t increase their price, since domain is only an entry level products to up-sell more lucrative services like email and web hosting. Now do you understand why we mention it won’t affect most of us, at least not yet?
