Registration, Transfer and Renewal pricing is the same.

In addition, Verisign has been permitted to increase .com prices up to 7% in 2022 and 2023 as well as between 2026 to 2029.  It may be in your best interest to renew your .com domains for multiple years.

Our billing system got an update recently. With that we decided to switch the template that it uses. This will allow for easier upgrades in the future. Our old template had so many customization that doing updates was always troublesome. We hope you find the new template eaiser to follow.

Let’s first talk about products other than registered domains. (e.g. Hosting, SSL certificates)

The invoice for a monthly billing plan is generated 14 days before the due date. Annual and other terms are set for 30 days before the due date. Due date is based on the start date + term length and so on.

We attempt to charge the credit card on file three (3) days before the due date. So on a monthly invoice, for example, a charge attempt is taken 11 days after the invoice is generated. Upon failure, we try again for the next three (3) weeks, once per week.

For registered domains it looks a bit different.

A domain’s expiry date is when the term of the registration ends. At Hosting Nation, we set the due date for domain renewals to be 30 days before the expiry date. This gives our customers a bit of a grace period if payment falls through.  30 days before the due date is when domain renewal invoices are generated. Thus domain invoices are generated 60 days before the expiry date and are due 30 days before expiry.
If a credit card is on file, we attempt to charge the card three (3) days before the due date, 33 days before expiry.

If you have any questions please contact our support team.

Email Subject: Urgent News from Hosting Nation. We are moving your domains!

You are receiving this email because you have a domain registered with Hosting Nation and your email address is the Registrant email contact.

What is happening?

Due to a recent major price increase at our domain provider Enom, and rather poor service we’ve received, we are moving to a new domain provider. We have had an enterprise level Enom account since 2006, and now are moving all our domains to our new provider – Hexonet.

Your domain will still be managed by Hosting Nation entirely. Our upstream provider of domains is what is changing. You will continue to login and pay Hosting Nation for domains.

How is this going to happen?

To achieve this, we need your cooperation. Since all the domains we manage (your domains) have to be officially ‘moved’ from our Enom account to our Hexonet account, we need your EPP Key for each domain name registered with us. When your domain renewal comes due, and you pay for the renewal, the domain will physically move from our old Enom account to our new Hexonet account. But in order for that to happen, we 1^st need the EPP Key for each domain to be renewed. We cannot ‘see’ your EPP Key, but we can send it to your email address on the Registrant contact for the domain name.

What do I need to do?

We are going to send out your EPP Key to you for each domain name you have registered with us. All you need to do is forward that email back to us at epp@hosting-nation.com

That’s it! Not so hard eh? We have also attached a screenshot of what the email will look like when you receive your EPP Key (see below or attachment in email).

The result!

The next time your domain renews with us, it will actually renew & transfer from our old account to our new one. We thought this would

Got Questions?

What if I don’t send you the EPP Key?

You will then stay on our Enom account where you are now, and as of May 30^th this month the prices will increase significantly to help us cover the Enom price increase we will incur. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

What if I don’t want to renew my domain?

No worries, simply don’t send the EPP Key back to us. You are choosing to not renew anyway, so just let it expire where it is.

How do I know this is not some phishing or fraud scheme?

Our cloud servers use virtualized environments of resources provided by large physical servers called hypervisors. Each server sits beside the others on the hypervisor, fully isolated from each other. Add to this the isolation provided by CloudLinux and you have a great shared hosting platform.

But wait a minute, the more technical minded of  you say.  This sounds just like traditional Virtual Private Servers or VPS. Yes, so far, it does.  In fact we call one of our products a VPS to use a familiar terminology. But a cloud server has some added benefits to traditional VPS.

• Near limitless flexibility with resource sizes.
• On the fly resource upgrades.
• Significantly better redundancy
• Centralized redundant storage

The first two allow us to upgrade (or downgrade) server specifications quickly. The second two  allow a cloud server to be hosted on any hypervisor or migrated to another one because data is stored not on local hard drives but on a centralized storage system called a SAN.

This is the system we use to host our shared servers and higher end hosting products. If you have any questions just let us know.

Although being a boutique hosting company, over the years we’ve offered domain rates on par or lower than larger competitors such as GoDaddy. We plan on continuing our competitive culture but have noticed in many cases our rates fell well below and in some cases have been sold at a loss.

For example on our Canadian website we have charged $13.40CAN for .COM for years, which converts to $9.78USD, while GoDaddy is asking $14.99USD (+ ICANN fee of $.018) for a total of $15.17USD on renew. A difference of $5.39USD! It’s been great for you as we didn’t compensate for our Canadian dollar drop.

Our corporate culture was never intended to be the cheapest place on the block, but one that provides more value for our hosted services. We sincerely hope your experience with us has been a positive one.

New Retail Domain Prices

For our retail clients, domain prices will increase as of March 1st, 2016. The new rates will be slightly higher than previous prices, however we have strived to keep our prices competitive. Naturally our Canadian dollar rates will rise more significantly than our US dollar rates due to the poor value on the CAN dollar at this time. We hope that will change soon!

Domain Volume Rates

If you have more than 10 domains you qualify for our volume rates. For more information about the volume rates and how you can start taking advantage of them, please email us or give us a call and speak with one of our representatives.

Some Example Volume Rates in USD

.COM $11.23
.NET $13.53
.ORG $12.98
.INFO $13.01
.CA $17.44

We appreciate your business, and we will continue to strive towards excellent customer service at a competitive rate.
