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
go cloudflare, renew for 10 years. nobrainer.
@diffuselight @nik282000 Seconding cloudflare, last I checked most if not all domains are sold at-cost.
laughs in .dev
Use Cloudflare. They are the cheapest out there because they don’t add a markup. After the Verisign increase the new price will be $9.77.
Can’t decide if I just want to renew everything for as long as possible to delay the price increase or just move to a different registrar.
Nothing like a week and a half notice, eh? I honestly don’t care for how much control over the internet Cloudflare has, but I’ve been extremely happy with them since transferring my domains over to them a few years back.
They make it super easy to turn off catching and DNS proxy if you’re worried about that, too. And they at least make their goals clear.
They don’t provide free services out of the goodness of their hearts, but because some users will go back to their company and convince them to get their paid services.
It’s the same reason a lot of software is free for college students and educators.
