It might be helpful to look at this as a percentage change- it looks like they were currently charging $42.18/year as the standard price (1), so this is a 30% price increase.

As another commenter pointed out they already raised the price a year ago - sot this is a 30% YOY increase.

Well that is one way to get 30% YoY company growth... I wonder how many new domains got registered and what the total revenue diff is.

Actually, could it be that the .io hype went down and this is their attempt at compensating?
