.FYI domains initially registered before May 15, 2024, at 17:00 UTC have been grandfathered by the registry and are now considered premium. A new pricing structure for .FYI domains took effect after that date. This notice explains what changed and how it affects registrations, renewals, and transfers.

Domain transaction types impacted
Registrations, renewals, and transfers of domains after 17:00 UTC on May 15, 2024, fall under the new pricing structure.
How the API handles grandfathered domains
If a grandfathered domain expires, it re-registers at the premium price, and this applies to a new registrant.
The API works without change for renewals. If a domain expires by mistake, you must use the premium API to re-register the domain name.
Premium .FYI pricing differs from regular TLD pricing for the account. These orders can only be processed as single orders within a year so that you see the price and confirm the order. There is no tag stating premium.
Note: Premium domains at Enom only allow a 1-year extension at a time.
Grandfathered domains transfer into Enom at the premium price. You can register or transfer in a grandfathered .FYI domain in your Enom account like any other registry premium domain. To register or transfer a grandfathered .FYI domain via the API, follow the same process.
| Transaction | API behavior |
| Renewal | There is no change; it follows the standard renewal process. The only difference is that the price differs from the regular TLD rate. |
| Re-register | The domain is identified as premium when checked. You must pass the API parameter CustomerSuppliedPrice and include the price to process the renewal or re-registration. If a price is not included in the call, an error is returned and the action fails. |
| Transfer | Transfers operate like re-registrations and require the CustomerSuppliedPrice setting to be provided. |
This process is outlined in the Enom API guide documentation.
Taking advantage of the new .FYI pricing
The price change took effect automatically on all new registrations, renewals, and transfers at 17:00 UTC on May 15, 2024. No additional steps are required to access the new .FYI pricing, but we strongly recommend adjusting your retail cost to ensure .FYI remains competitively priced. This better enables you to take advantage of the .FYI growth opportunity and broad customer appeal.
