Upcoming Price Adjustment

Details
13 June 2025

A Quick Heads-Up About Some Small Adjustments

At Rhye Media, I'm committed to providing you with reliable digital services and personalised support. Over the years, I've worked hard to keep my pricing stable, even as operating costs have gradually increased.

To continue delivering the high standard of service you expect, we will be adjusting our pricing for a number of services, effective 01/07/2025.

What's Changing?

From 01/07/2025, the following services will see a modest price increase:

  • Website Hosting

  • Domain Name Registration and Renewals

  • DNS Management

Exact pricing will vary depending on your specific services and billing plan, and we will contact each client directly with details relevant to their account.

Here’s a general overview:

Why the Change?

This adjustment reflects rising operational costs across infrastructure, security, and support services, including:

  • Increased domain registry and wholesale hosting fees
  • Higher infrastructure costs (e.g., data centre power, bandwidth, software licensing)
  • Ongoing investment in security, uptime, and performance

What You Can Expect

Despite these changes, our focus remains on delivering excellent value with:

  • Continued fast, secure hosting and domain services
  • Local, responsive support from someone you know
  • No unnecessary add-ons or upsells—just what you need, when you need it

I understand that price increases are never ideal. I’ve done my best to keep the changes minimal and transparent. If you have any questions or would like to review your current services, feel free to get in touch.

Thank you for your continued support.

Warm regards,
Drew Beard


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When will the new pricing take effect?
A: The new pricing will apply to invoices issued on or after 01/07/2025.
Q: Why are the prices increasing?
A: Registry and infrastructure providers have raised their costs due to the falling AUD. We’ve absorbed these increases for as long as possible, but this change allows us to maintain quality, security, and reliable support.

A: Yes. We’ll send a reminder prior to your service renewal, with the updated pricing details.
Q: Can I review or change my services?
A: Absolutely. If you’d like to revisit your current setup or streamline your services, just get in touch—we’re happy to help.
Q: Do these changes affect custom website work or one-off projects?
