I doubt anyone is “bleeding dry”. This is the first transfer promo in almost 2 years. NC and Dynadot run them all the time.

Dynadot has 7.99 transfer promos, not 6.99

It uses a coupon, Thank you for keeping track, has it been 2 years since epik offered transfer promo Hemorrhage money, simply since $7.85 Verisign wholesale? Any .com for less is a loss

So even Dynadot $7.99 (comover21) is profit.
$6.99 is insanely unheard off; a luxury. the best
Bonus for including the $0.18 cents icann adds — Registrars, like GD, often add promo and all

Edit to add:

On September 1, 2021 .com wholesale will go up from $7.85 wholesale it’s been to $8.39.

Enjoy while lasts!

@Sufyan Alani
Please restart .PRO until Dec'31 as other registrars did automatically on July'1.

So bummed...I thought I read somewhere that the transfer deal was good thru July 31 to help combat the price increase by the overlords...been putting together a list of several dozen names to transfer...looks like I missed it.

Please advise as to the next transfer deal for .com - thanks.

Transfer promo active ... ( $6.99 )

Hi Jurgen,
We'll check this one, and extend the promo or start a new one if possible.
Keep an eye on the website promo page.
Thanks,

As i mentioned earlier i am happy to renew 1000 .Com for 2 to 5 years if got promo price

u do not mind doing this not knowing if they might sell b4?

I am confident in my names, and I dropped them very rarely, so if I get a discount, I will go with multi-year renewal.

yes I know u are proficient in domains and do well
... I was just talking simple math..if promo is not considerable..like 4 or 5usd off..then renewing 100s or 1000s of names especially on good folio like yours I believe... where sales occur regularly.. may simply not be an optimal investment... which is why most of us do not opt for renewing years.ahead..only to.sell in 2021 a domain renewed til say 2025...that sort of thing.

Epik is a good friend of domainers.

It is $6.99 likely for the entire month of August. It is a pretty hefty bleeder.

I registered a name on Aug 4th...got receipt for $7.99 deducted from master bucks..

$ 6.99 yet to be started again? Or am I missing something here..?

Thanks,
Ravi

It seems that the $6.99 is for transfer only. Not for new registration.

I registered four .com domains via Epik around 20 hours ago, I can confirmed that they were also charge for $7.99 each.

Is there some reason the Epik site appears to be totally down? Can’t even get to the front page.

 

[DN Universal]

The site is down. I spoke with customer service and they assured me all is well as they are working on rectifying the problem.

Back to normal - sorry for inconvenience!

Some folks have asked about our .COM pricing plan for September 1. We did not finalize it yet but will share two things:

1. The $6.99 .com transfer promo is a hot ticket. Get it while it lasts.

2. Our .COM renewal rate for NP members will continue to be a very good deal.

Ultimately, our philosophy has not changed. We view the domain investor as a supply chain partner. We win when you sell domains to end-users. Up until that point, our focus is on extending your runway.

Rob, that is good...if possible more discounts.

Also, it will be nice to see some discounts on .in .co.in and also regular .com .co .io on India Independence Day (Aug 15th) celebrations.


I was hoping to see reg at reduced price... waiting to register 20 to 30 names in .com


Thanks,
Ravi

Received email from other registrars:
You might have heard that the central registry (Verisign) is increasing their wholesale cost for .COM domain names soon. In light of this change, our prices will increase as well starting September 1, 2021 00:00 UTC.

What your NP's new price for COM starting September?
Thanks.

So far no price increase planned for .COM for NP members. At most, it will be a pass-through of our cost.
