NameCheap is more expensive than everyone, that's part of why I'm transferring all domains back to GoDaddy.

Since selling off Enom to TuCows in January NameCheap has to make a big profit quick to remain a public company. The quote below is from here

"Rightside’s market cap before the announcement was $158 million. Unless Rightside can quickly grow its revenue from new top level domain names–something that seems unlikely–I can’t imagine it remaining a public company for long"

Maybe the new strategy is their current ripoff $10.69 renewals with no coupons available and taking domains earlier than the old 27 day grace period and charging the $200 ransom fee after 5 days or 10 days?

I never received notice of the policy change did you?
