CZ.NIC Increases Wholesale Price of .CZ Domains from March 2024

Starting March 1, 2024, CZ.NIC will increase the wholesale price of .CZ domains from 145 to 160 CZK per year (excluding VAT). This marks the first price change in over six years.

According to Ondřej Filip, CEO of CZ.NIC, the decision is driven by a cumulative inflation rate of over 40% since the last price adjustment in 2019, along with rising operational and security costs. This increase will likely prompt registrars to adjust their pricing for end-users as well, reflecting the updated costs.
