August 9, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Internet services provider Tucows (tucows.com) announced on Tuesday that it has reduced its list price for wholesale domain name registrations.

Tucows says customers will also be able to see the cost breakdown of a domain name including Registry and ICANN fees as well as the Tucows management fee and the new pricing structure will provide increased visibility for wholesale domain customers ahead of the announced October 2007 Registry domain name price increases.

The Tucows management fee provides wholesale domains customers with access to a domain name suggestion tool powered by DomainsBot, a 50 percent share of net domain parking advertising revenues and the ability to sell domains from a portfolio of premium domain names from the domain aftermarket. Beginning September 1, WHOIS Privacy and Managed DNS will be included with each domain name purchase at no charge, says the company.

"Domain registration is an entry point for our wholesale services and we have made a significant investment in this part of our business to ensure that we continue to provide value to our customers," says Elliot Noss, president and CEO of Tucows. "With our price drop and new pricing model, we have given our customers a competitive domains package and more visibility into the various fees that make up the cost of a domain name."

Last week, Tucows acquired domain registrar ItsYourDomain through a worldwide wholesale network of over 2,500 affiliates.
