The Public Interest Registry (PIR), the company responsible for managing '.org' domain names, has announced that prices of registrations will be going up on November 9th.

According to Jacqui Cheng of Ars Technica, the company announced their intention to raise the wholesale price from $6.15 to $6.75 in a letter to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the body that oversees all domain names. While the PIR is totally within their rights to raise their wholesale prices, ICANN does have a say in how much they may raise it, but this increase falls well within the limit set.
