I'm just wondering whether members here who have a large number of domains know of registrars who have either specials for renewal rates or lower cost renewal rates.
Last night I was truly irritated with my Domain Registrar Namecheap. I received a notification from Namecheap last night where they say I was on Automatic Renewal for X domain and that on 25 July they would be taking the renewal funds from my card. You wouldn't believe it - they said the renewal rate was 27 US$ for a name.review non-TLD domain. I think Namecheap is slightly cheeky at the domain registration stage to slip in auto renewal - like it was probably ticked somewhere and I missed it initially. I then last night disabled auto renewal for all of my domains. Not that it would have been a problem for me as I don't have any of my Visa Cards connected - I only work with PayPal.
Anyway, 27 US$ was much too much. While I was checking through my domains I decided to renew some of them and then got a surprise. The renewal price of 27 US$ got discounted to 14.20 US$ for the TLDs and 10US$ for the non-TLDs. That was last night. So this morning when I checked some more the rate had all of a sudden changed again. No mention of 27 US$, just straight 15 US$ renewal for all domains. Feels as though someone was playing behind the scenes.
I also checked for coupons for renewal of Namecheap domains, but none to be found.
Are there any other Registrars who have cheaper renewal rates? Or at least some discount coupons?
