Domains will transfer to Moniker in June.
In January, domain registrar Hexonet announced it would shut down, with all domains set to be migrated to fellow Team Internet Group (LON: TIG) registrar Moniker. That transition is now underway.
Today, I received a notice from Hexonet stating that my domains will be transferred to Moniker between June 17–23. (It’s possible transfers are being done in batches, so your specific migration window may vary.)
During the transfer process, domains will be locked for approximately 17 hours on the day your account is migrated.
After the move, domains will be subject to Moniker’s standard pricing. .Com renewals start at $16.29 per year, dropping to $13.69 if you have more than 500 domains under management. Even at the discounted rate, these prices are well above what many domain investors are accustomed to, despite Moniker’s branding as being “Built for Domain Investors.”
Renewals for other TLDs are even more expensive. For portfolios over 500 domains, .Net renewals cost $19.89 and .Org renewals $17.29 per year.
If you’d prefer not to migrate your domains to Moniker, you can transfer your domains to another registrar before your scheduled migration date.
Mine are being transferred to RRRProxy. And I negotiated prices.
