News

On January 5, Domain Name Wire reported that Namecheap had claimed victory in its battle to maintain price caps on .org and .info domain names. Back in 2020, the registrar filed for the Independent Review Process (IRP) to consider ICANN’s unilateral removal of the price caps, arguing ICANN Staff had made the decision to remove price caps against the interests of domain name registrants and registrars.
