Having just jumped from Google to Nameheap this is more than mildly frustrating.

edit: apparently this is the result of Verisign putting up their wholesale prices

It’s administered by a nonprofit (Public Internet Registry) which cap the wholesale price to ~$9 per year. There was a proposal to remove the price cap and transfer the management to a an investment firm a few years ago and it was met with uproar so it was canceled.
