Namecheap ups its prices 9% for .com and .xyz this fall.
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

Cloudflare is also upping prices. Since Cloudflare sells domains at cost, I expect domain prices have simply increased.
Aside from the obvious fighting and bidding over an already claimed single domain name, what factors into the inherent pricing of a domain?
The domain registry (basically owner of the domain ending) sets the price.
Edit: Though it should be mentioned there's a power above them (ICANN) that has to approve the price.
Wholesalers squeezing buyers because they can.
I just tried to check the pricing of domains at cloudflare and they just don't have a list. You need to transfer a domain to see the price. So I will probably stay with inwx for the time being.
