Having just jumped from Google to Nameheap this is more than mildly frustrating.
edit: apparently this is the result of Verisign putting up their wholesale prices

I know there are other factors it just feels like the only people getting screwed are the little guys. In Canada the rates that third party ISPs pay and charge are dictated by the giant telcos. Our regulating body even allowed the telcos to raise prices to the point where reselling is no longer viable. Fucking the little guys again.
I mean, just make sure you're blaming the right people is really what I was trying to say
Get a .ca domain (assuming you're Canadian), it's the same price as a .com and the prices don't change much since they're controlled majorly by the govt.
