Ask HN: What you paying for .com renewal and with whom

I use Cloudflare, Namecheap and Iwantmyname, but will probably slowly migrate to Cloudflare Registrar. Since domain registrations aren't their primary business, I hope they will keep charging the minimum only.

I like when companies provide services which help their business indirectly, so they have an incentive to keep that service accessible and simple.

But overall annual renewal is around $60 USD.

There is another perspective to be aware of on this... I have been caught out by a service provider when it became clear the service I was using wasn't their main business - and their interest in properly maintaining and operating that service dropped - profoundly.

Thanks for this. How many domains are included in the $60?

Ha, now that I checked it's much more than $60, it is around $110. Six domains in total.
