Updates to eNom Domain Registration Services

eNom, the service HEROweb uses to register domains for customers, has updated its pricing and policies. They have increased domain registration fees for certain domain types. However, HEROweb has decided to absorb the cost of the increased fees and keep its domain pricing the same for all customers. ENom has also updated its policies regarding how domain registrars must notify clients of domain expirations. To read the full policy change visit our website.
