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 ?

Yeah I just did and I was offered this option and I'm glad I did! Now this is something completely different. Thanks!Ask for the domainer discount price. $8.49 I believe.
I totally agree.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 ?
Besides, you have 2 years renewal on your screenshot.Yeah I just did and I was offered this option and I'm glad I did! Now this is something completely different. Thanks!
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.

Epik renewal pricing are way too high.
No promotions ever.
Sooo.. how bout' changing the title to your thread now? And next time, try doing a bit of poking before creating disparaging titled threads.
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.
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(?)

thanks Rob, despite i dont agree with everything u always say, but when it comes to domaining, you are always ready to help. thanks for that.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.
$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.
interesting. Epik is looking to be my official "stay with" registrar. I mean
right now there are no $6.49 transfers. And the current transfer deal for Epik is $7.99 and renewal with the option you mentioned is like what? 10 cents more? I really don't see any reason to transfer out if the savings in doing so if the next transfer out rate is just $7.99 which right now is nobody.
tired of having to create transfer lists and all that bs for all my domains right now. and having to sift thru.
Although to be honest with as many domains as I own. It's good to transfer out sometimes because of this not just to save money but to not be complacent in sifting thru your lists to weed out some of the suck.
Sorry @Rob Monster just being honest.
I am a lazy domainer and now if I stay with @epik I'll probably just renew domains I probably shouldn't but just leave them be and let them burn a hole in my pocket. lol
that's never good.
I guess I just need to make sure I check my lists every year at Epik.
And I don't even have a "to do" list. lol
