Epik Renewal a Robery?

[spiritfly]

I have quite a few domains with epik, and I've just noticed their renewal option for a .com domain is $70 ?! I thought Epik was a reputable company. Now what's going on with this? @RL ?

Ask for the domainer discount price. $8.49 I believe.

Yeah I just did and I was offered this option and I'm glad I did! Now this is something completely different. Thanks!

Epik renewal pricing are way too high.
No promotions ever.

Besides, you have 2 years renewal on your screenshot.

I think @Rob Monster need to do more on transparent pricing. We Domainers don't like asking first. We want the price to be there.

It is a dual pricing model.

The retail customers fund all the innovation and customer service personnel. The pro domainers get domains at cost. To get domainer pricing, just tell our support team your NamePros handle.

If we charged everyone $8.49 for .COM you can be assured that there would be no great software inventions, and there would be no live support from people who speak English.

The alternative would be to split the brand, but that is not a great option because where we add a lot of value in helping pro domainers sell and lease their domains to retail end-users. Hence one brand.

If you are a domain industry insider, you know the Epik deal. And if you don't know the Epik deal, then you probably have not been paying attention or are new to the industry. So, be happy you now know a secret.

Did you read the posts after the OP? Or are you just wanting to post crap?

If you want a 'promotion', sell a name on Epik and leave the money in your account. You'll get .com hand regs, transfers, renewals for $8.10 with that money.​

At least it was posted as a question. Sort of(?)

This thread was started August last year. Is spiritfly still around?

Oh, poop- missed that. My apologies. Dangers on responding to newest posts..

"poking around" looks like I could use a dose of my own medicine.

I just about missed the date, as well.

Makes me wonder if Irvin raul might have something against Epik, to have resurrected this thread and posted the crap he did.

 

[Irvin raul]

Renewal are high, is that crap.

 

[Cal2]

You're full of it.

 

[Irvin raul]

I am not sure how this thread came back into the mix, but for anyone who does not have domainer pricing, you can contact us, or use this link to sign up:

You also get:

- Free WHOIS privacy
- Free forwarding
- Free Wordpress
- Free SSL certificates
- Free escrow
- Free domain management
- Free landing pages
- Free CDN and DDoS protection (on some products)
- Free domain finding tools (e.g. NameInvestors.com)
- Free appraisals and fairness opinions
- Free custom marketplace and domain store

It is a deal that is hard to beat -- if it can be free, odd are it will be free.

The dual-pricing model has been in operation for many years. It is a core strategy that funds innovation, 24/7 live support, interest-free loans, grace periods, and domainer promos like $6.99 .com transfers.

As for those retail customers don't shed a tear for them. They still get great value with most of them having just 1-2 names that they use actively because they bought them from a domain investor!

$8.10 if I leave money in my account prefund?

Unless Epik's changed it, 8.10 for .com if you prefund with something that doesn't charge a fee like credit cards do.
