Without HN I wouldn&amp;#x27;t have even noticed.&lt;p&gt;Looking at my last invoice, I paid ~£26&amp;#x2F;year for a .info domain. If I&amp;#x27;m reading this right, it&amp;#x27;s now ~£36&amp;#x2F;yr.&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#x27;s a ~40% increase.&lt;p&gt;Glad I renewed for nine years last year.</text></comment>
