need to renew/transfer out 72 domains
 

Hi All,

I need to renew 72 domains today. If I stay with NameCheap and use my 'diamonds' code the price is $676.08, and if I transfer these to GD they ask $588.24 without any coupons. Is there an ever better price somewhere else or do you have any godaddy transfer coupons?

Thanks! :pimp

Contact a GoDaddy sales rep. They'll hook you up!

Thanks, will do so in a few hours, I hate to mess with transfers, so if NC gives me a custom quote [they never did until so far, I asked 2-3 times, once it was about moving ~250 domains to them... :( ] than I am willing to say.

How many domains do you need to get the "diamond" code? I have the gold deal, with 178 domains at NC.

I would say it depends what these domains actually do, and whether you have privacy etc.

I have domains at both namecheap and godaddy and have never had a problem with either.

idunno exactly... 300?

Diamond code is for renews and whois guards, you just need to ask for it, but i can't remember how much domains you need to have is it 50 or 100

Domain registration companies show poor commercial thinking sometimes.

I just coincidentally had to renew 4 domains at godaddy, and quote with privacy was $85. Tried 3 money off coupons none worked so I transferred them to namecheap cost me $35 including free whois protection for a year.

Not a hard choice.

similar price to godaddy should be also from moniker

http://livecodes.blogspot.com/ this site rox for godady codes they always work, just check the dates and it's updated daily :) Saves a ton of money.

if they are due to renew today, you wont be able to transfer then anywhere else

THX Bro, looks good! :pimp


Smart, but I am prepared, the reason I want to do this today is that the first couple expire on 19th.

i got some godaddy code for .com with private registration for like $11 :)
half cheapper as normal price

anybody got a renew code for godaddy

I never would move a load of domains to GD to save a few pennies.

I'd think a few cents extra to let earn NC your business is a wisedom.

i have for ~8.5$, need that one?

any would be good i have checked most coupon sites and nothing works

Thanks for all the help, transfer is done. :pimp

Just used it again, and it works fine, just for renewals... :thumbsup

Thanks i got them for $8.49 that's a big saving :thumbsup

why on earth would you move them to godaddy?

search google for godaddy coupons, you will find something 30% off.

I've got over 1100 names so i just pay GD that $89 annual fee to always get their lowest prices, so i do not have to hunt around for coupon codes.

I used to hunt around for them, but it got to the point where it was just getting ridiculous and the time saved by paying the $89 fee was worth it for me..

but if you only have a couple hundred or less, then it may not be worth the time saved as you have to spread that cost across the # of your domain names.

Typically not true. Transfers for gTLDs (in particular, .com, .net, .org, .info, and possibly some others) can usually still be requested the day of, or even many days after expiration.

There are some people on NamePros who regularly do transfers after expiration - some long as 30 days after depending on the registrar. Very risky to push it out that far, but point is after-expiration transfers are certainly possible, and occur all the time.

To digress a bit, country-code TLDs (.us, .co, .nu, .cc, .jp, etc) are an entirely different story from gTLDs ... some ccTLDs prevent any changes / transfers being performed after expiration with some going even further by requiring renewal days to even a month prior to the expiration date.

Agreed..

I think in the past that was an old rule that many registrars used, but I have not run into that problem recently.
