NameCheap - Names not so cheap?

    So I have noticed, that NameCheap doesn't really stand up to their name.

    But I continue to use them, because they are so easy, and quite reliable.

    But to the main question, how can I order domains in bulk, I know how to look them up in bulk, but where is the price breakdown.

    If I wanted to order 100 .infos, I sure as hell aint paying 4.88 each.

    Any info?

    You could try e-mailing them and telling them you will order in bulk and they will surely give you a coupon.

    A friend of mine e-mailed them once and they gave him a coupon because he said godaddy has coupons for bulk, so they gave him.

    Good luck!

    Ah, thank you.

    I never think of doing the simplest of things.

    Silly me.

    if you have 50+ domains with them you can get a coupon just for your account. Can be used for both registrations and renewals.


    Im sure they would give an even lower price if you buy 100 domains at a time.

    They aren't cheap. You wouldn't see people who are active in the domain business register most of their domains on namecheap. The margins are already low, and every cent counts. But they are reliable, and that is what counts IMO..

    Godaddy seems to be the cheapest, but are you saying name cheap is more reliable then godaddy?

    Namecheap as a easy to use layout and great support. Godaddy just seems a bit too commercial/fake for me..

    I wonder what GoDaddy.com means? I think its an inside joke, they were suppose to be GOD addy.com but of course thats offience, so they market as GoDaddy.

    GoDaddy has always been cheaper than NameCheap at least for purchase of 1 or 2 domains, don't know about bulk.

    I think all the companies have similar prices, just alittle difference.

    GoDaddy screwed me out of $40.

    Then for a refund, they tried to have me send them all kinds of information.

    I don't think it's necessary to send 50 forms of ID to get a refund on $40 worth of merchandise.

    That's why I don't use them.

    Ok, so NameCheap will no longer break down the prices for orders of 100 or more.

    I just sent them an email and this is their response:

    Hello,
    Unfortunatly the promotional pricing we have listed is the lowest we may go at this time.

    Regards,
    Jerry G.
    Namecheap.com

    I was inquiring about 100 domains at a time.

    They have a quick and convenient interface - far better than godaddy IMO.

    I agree, but the prices are ridiculous.

    If I bought 100 domain names, I should get some kind of discount.

    Did you not read my last post.

    I emailed them, they said they couldn't give me a discount.
