All .com domains are $6.99 for me. Have been for at least 6 months. That not the case for you?

Edit: I do have many domains with them. I register new ones semi-frequently.

They are $8.99 for me for 1 year at a time. I have 7 domains with them but I didn't opt into their "discount program" (which required pre-funding your account at least $50 instead of using a CC / PayPal on demand). That's the one that drops them to $6.99 as seen here: https://www.namesilo.com/Support/Discount-Program

It does mention the renewal price is $8.89 (which is about the normal price) if you click the renewals tab.

I don't think I would put this into the same category as a bait and switch tactic that other vendors do. This one is all spelled out on the page and it's not part of the check out process. You have to go out of your way to discover and opt into the discount program.

I didn't opt in to the discount program. I have never preloaded anything.

I checked today and it was actually pretty difficult to find what the renewal prices would be. Partly because the website is awful.

I didn't say it's a bait and switch. Even the renewal prices are outrageously cheap. I have no bad feelings towards Namesilo. My intent to move to Cloudflare is not because I'm unhappy with Namesilo.

Interesting. I wonder how else you're getting that discount on a regular basis.

It is interesting, but I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Also, I don't buy domains all that often anymore but I have heaps on renewals, so there is actually very little benefit to me.
