Cheapest Bulk .COM Domain Transfers?

[NPer]

The lowest bulk transfer price for .com domains I have found online is with ResellerClub.com for $6.99. I haven't transferred any as yet, as their special ends towards the end of November, so there is plenty of time... just in case another registrar offers a more competitive rate during the same period.

I believe Reseller Club is not limiting the amount of domains you can transfer and there is free privacy if you wish to use it.

Any opinions on this?

Are there any other specials on at the moment or in the upcoming month with other registrars for bulk transfers?

I'm sure there must be other hungry registrars out there too?

I'm also looking to transfer some .com's, I was hoping that namecheap would have one of their $1/$3 transfer specials, no luck so far.

You guys should ask stub. His domain portfolio is much larger, than the entire population of the British Cayman Islands.

But I wouldn't know the answer to this question. But I have some comments. I don't like the Reseller Club control panel. I don't find it intuitive enough for me. $6.99 is a good price for bulk transfers with free privacy. Offers below this usually have a limit on the number of domains. I would read the RC terms very carefully to make sure it is truely unlimited, because last time I checked $6.99 was a below cost offer, so I would imagine that is also limited in number of domains.

I actually don't operate on finding the cheapest prices and going with that. I find the best Control Panel I like (with reasonable renewal prices), and transfer all my domains to that Registrar as soon as possible after acquisition. I'm not a cheap charley going for the cheapest promo codes. Personally, I think the best three Control Panels are eNom, GoDaddy, Dynadot. That is not to say there aren't others. With the last update, I think GoDaddy became less intuitive, but it's still good. My preference is Dynadot, but it was a bit of a learning curve.

I believe your relationship with your Registrar should be one of a partnership where both are able to make a profit. A relationship based purely on price is going to blow-up eventually.

PS: All of the above three Registrars have some form of Magic Folders, first pioneered by Bulk Register (which was bought by eNom). This is a must for me with so many domains.

Arvixe starts at 7.95$ on transfers including private registration which drops 1c for each domain you register down to 6.95$. Arvixe

Since they are an ENom registrar, they also offer free transfers to any other ENom registrars free if you contact sales directly by email or chat.

I've been with them for 3 years and their support is available 24h/7. My domains are either with them for my long-term portfolio or with GoDaddy for my mainstream sales (EBay sales or lower domains). I've been an happy customer for three years.

Their domaining panel is really easy to use and kept simple. Bulk changes are limited, but they added functionalities recently for DNS changes.

NameSilo used to have 15% off coupons for transfers, but not anymore. Still, they're worth considering!

Yes, that was a good special they had going. That promo was limited by usage, not the amount of domains. Which means one could've transferred 100 at once. That came to $7.05 per transfer. And I would prefer NameSilo, because they have a nice control panel.

I was hoping they would have this special again. But "Admin" on their live chat told me last month that they not running promos anytime soon.

I transferred a bit of domains there last month without the promo-still a good price. But let's hope they surprise us soon.

I'll give a shameless self plug here. NameBright.com is $8.53 for any number of domains. This is "at cost pricing". If you pre-fund the account the price goes down to $8.03. All domains get 1-year free whois privacy too.

Also, we just launched our November new registration promo which is $4.99 for new .com domains throughout the month. ($4.58 for pre-funded accounts) Unlike other registrars, our renewal rates are just as good. $8.03 in subsequent years.

I'm guessing you are Andrew Reberry?

NS, yes, that is correct.

NameCheap.com has a special for today only: transfers @ $3.99 per domain- up to 50 names.

I'm disappointed no other registrar gives GoDaddy any real competition on transfers, like their 99c-1.99 offers. Namecheap has a 3.99 today like NS said, but that doesn't compare to GoDaddy's round the year promos.

@Rebies, maybe you should run a 99c .com transfer promo, atleast 10 domains per account!
