The Swiss domain registry has announced that it will be dropping its pricing on new registrations from March 1 2006:
SWITCH, the registry for domain names ending in.ch and .li, is discontinuing the registration fee of CHF 40 as of 1 March 2006. The annual fee of CHF 35 will remain unchanged.
This price reduction has been made possible through the continuing growth in the number of domain names and the introduction of the new registration application on 1 October 2005, which will reduce the extra outlay involved in registrations. “We naturally wish to pass these cost savings on to our customers”, explains Urs Eppenberger, new Head of “Internet Domains” at SWITCH.
For domain names that are registered up to and including 28 February 2006, SWITCH will charge the registration fee of CHF 40 that has been applicable to date.
