Strange price calculation - Namecheap

I am registering domains .info with namecheap its price is 2.98$ for an year and if I am trying to register it for 2 years it says 17.76. Why it is more for two years. Can anyone tell me?

 

It's because they're probably running a special promotion - domains for $2.98, but this applies to the first year of registration only.

 

Yes, to take advantage of the $2.98 pricing, you need to only register for a year. If you opt for more than 1 year, they will calculate it based on the standard pricing of $8.88/year.

The same happens with GoDaddy, the coupons won't work with renewals so do your math in the long term investment.

The first year is cheap the next years you pay more than what you pay on another registrar.
