For now - but surely they too will increase as part of this. What are the rates after the increase which will impact every registry?

Every registrar*

Registry is like verisign owning .com

Registrar is all of the people who sell you .com domains, by having a contract with the registry.

Funnily I even looked up this distinction before writing because I very much know of the difference (see my comment history) but wrote exactly the wrong one. Oh well. Yes I meant registrar, not the TLD registry.

Cloudflare upcoming price changes -- yes, they like other registrars will be affected.

The announcement page might be behind a login, couldn't seem to link it directly

  .com    $9.15 -> $9.77
  .xyz    $9.33 -> $10.18
  .org    $10.11 (today's price... not affected?)
  .net    $10.10 (today's price... not affected?)
