At ovh.com I'm having FREE renewals for 8 .com sites. That offer is forever while you mantain a hosting pack. The better hosting pack you paid, the more free renewals you'll get .
1and1 has special offer on .info transfer & renewal for only $0.99 first year (work only 1domain/contract). http://www.1and1.com/domain-transfer?__lf=Static&linkOrigin=Contact&linkId=hd.subnav.transferdomain Hostgator had $1.95 first year on black friday / end of world day.
This site has a registrar price comparison. It only shows .com domains without coupons, but you can sort by renewal price: http://www.registrarowl.com/report_registrar_price_comparison.php
For the ($39.00 x 12 months =) $468 they charge you every year for hosting (at the very least), they aren't obliging you with those free websites. As a comparison, even if you paid for those 8 websites, the highest rate as seen on http://www.registrarowl.com/report_registrar_price_comparison.php which cochisetm has provided below: 8 x 10.99 = $87.93 which means you are paying 468 - 87.93 = $380.07 for your hosting! Wow! You must surely be earning a lot from those 8 domains to be able to afford such rates!
Were you banned because you couldn't tell the difference between renewal and buying? Try re-reading the question before contributing your invaluable opinion, Vicky! :sarcasm:
As of today April 2013 - WebtopiasDomains.com is at $8.50 for domain renewals. I own the site and I have to keep the price lower than the other registrars because I have over a hundred domains. I use it myself. Everyone else is welcome to register, transfer, and renew at the lowest price possible. If you see a lower price for "renewals", please let me know and I'll see if I can lower my price to what is allowed. Cheers!
Namecheap is at $10.69 for renewals now and netfirms is at $11.99 - However WebtopiasDomains is still at $8.50.
