Bulk discounts begin at 50 domains. That's far from the average person.

(and if you have that many domains you can do better than NameCheap prices too)

You'd said "NEVER", which wasn't correct.

I'm generally only renewing a few at a time. They've given me a coupon to renew just one, and they were doing that before I had more than 50 with them.

While there are cheaper options, I like Namecheap's bulk management tools, free DNS hosting with records management for all types of records, etc.

After leaving Internic, I stayed with DirectNIC for years because of their reliability (even during Katrina!), no hassle interface, and pro customer practices, but after crossing the hundred domains mark, that started to feel expensive even with their bulk wallet discount system. I'm still using DirectNIC for a few, but Namecheap for most.
