Domain owners can renew early to avoid the pending price increase. Some registrars, such as Cloudflare, charge only the wholesale price to all customers. These registrars will be forced to increase their prices on September 1 in order to continue making a profit (or breakeven, as it were).
Can you extend your domain name?
You have 2 ways you can renew your domain: Auto-renew: Turn on a setting that automatically renews your domain every year within a month of when your domain expires.

Premium domain names are more expensive than other domain names because of what they bring to a website. This positive history means a premium domain name has a higher page ranking in search engines and brings more organic traffic to your website.
Why is GoDaddy charging me so much?
It’s no secret that registrars (GoDaddy included) make money from the registration of domain names. Each domain registry charges a different amount for renewal. We do this because we don’t want them to lose domains that they want to keep or be in a position where they may have to pay a registry redemption fee.
