New Packages, New Offerings, and other New Prices Effective Sept 1
- Friday, 25th August, 2023
- 16:05pm
Over this past year we've seen many of the prices of our providers rising - from the control panel we use, the domain authorities, and our payment processors. Even the owned license of the portal we had has become a new monthly expense. Due to the rise of business costs we've decided to re-evaluate our services and offerings and update our prices to continue providing our clients with affordable, reliable services - but also to stay in business!
IMPORTANT: The Portal will be offline August 31 in preparation of these changes.
As always, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing E-Starr.
Here is a breakdown of the new pricing for each of our services, starting September 1:
Domain Names
The prices for domains have gone up steadily over the years, usually between $.25-$1.50 per year. The prices here will be effective Sept 1, but may be subject to change any time after, as the domain authorities are constantly re-evaluating their prices. Not all extensions have been increased, but all will be listed.
.COM $15.99; .NET $16.99; .ORG $17.49; .INFO $26.99; .BLOG $36.49; .BIZ $21.99; .ME $25.99; .US $13.99; .WS $44.99; .CC $21.99; .CO $36.99; .CA $19.99; .CO.UK $11.99; .ES $22.99; .BE $19.99; .EU $11.99; .MOBI $ 35.99; .STORE $64.99; .FIT $34.99; .HOST $99.99; .DEV $16.99; .WIKI $29.99
Free Domain Names will continue to be offered with annual hosting, however the extensions available may change from time to time as it seems that some have been skyrocketing.
The current free domain extensions include: .COM, .NET, .ORG, .CC, .BE, .DEV
WHOIS ID Protection will remain $10/yr per domain.

Hosting Packages
The pricing for current clients won't change automatically. All clients will remain on their legacy hosting packages until they choose to change to one of the new packages. All new hosting packages will be available on the website September 1.
Reseller Packages
As with our hosting packages, you will not be automatically migrated to any new package. Unlike the hosting packages, the cost of cPanel is now based on the number of accounts on a server, and as such we must begin limiting how many accounts resellers can have without overage charges. While you will remain on your reseller package that you've always had, a limit on accounts will be added to your reseller, but we will double the number of accounts a new client would have for anyone who already has a Reseller or the WHM addon.
CloudVPS
Prices on CloudVPS have been fully revamped and will include DirectAdmin as an option, in addition to cPanel. Current VPS customers will not be automatically changed to the new VPS pricing, however they must be changed to the new cPanel pricing. If any current clients would like to migrate from cPanel to DirectAdmin, they may enter a ticket to begin the process.
