Thanks. $.06 less than Dynadot Bulk pricing. But with Dynadot's $9.49 Aug transfer special, I could save enough that it'd be worth transferring 100% out of Porkbun. Guess I'm out then. Might even get me close to SuperBulk pricing with Dyna by doing that. Prefer not to leave, but prices are prices.

The price mentioned is without ACH. Porkbun ACH pricing will be even cheaper.

Current ACH pricing for all TLDs, including ICANN fee:

Furthermore, Porkbun does not have a concept like bulk pricing. So you start saving some serious money immediately from the first domain. And no paid discount membership is required to get these discounts.

Thanks for letting me know. But ACH (for me) is a pain. But even if I were to do that, it'd be $10.73 per name vs Dyna's $10.86 (SuperBulk). With the $9.49 transfer it'd take 10 years before staying with PB made sense (this assumes I can get to SuperBulk pricing). I may not be able to.

If I only remain Bulk at Dyna, it'd only take 4 years to break even (although I'd have to deal with ACH nonsense from my business account, which I do not like). My business account (amazingly) is a real pain to deal with. That's why I prefer cc (but I understand this comes with a cost for the merchant).

You're not calculating the transfer savings (that need to be made back). Year 4 is the earliest it can make sense to have stayed with PB (and I have to set up ACH nonsense to get to that break even)

I'm not 100% sure I'm leaving them. It is also a pain to swap registrars every year. We shall see what I decide... have a few weeks yet to make a decision

Catch us with questions if you have any but I think y'all know the drill.

Wow, congratulations.

Can we expect opt-in notifications for all listed domains, or what?

Although all my Porkbun domains are labeled as "Domain ready for SedoMLS activation" at Sedo, I'm not seeing anything in my Porkbun dashboard. What to do to enable it @Porkbun? Just wait and the notifications will appear?

Thanks, I've done this.

@Porkbun What will be the delay with around 4,000 domains before getting SedoMLS opt-in notifications?

You really would think they'd have that sort of stuff nailed down ready for launch. But anyway, I guess they'll get there in due course.

Totally agree that it would have been better if that had happened earlier.

On the other hand, I like the fact that Porkbun puts technology and adding actually useful features first, and that only after implementation some modest marketing and documentation follows.

It's a stark contrast to what you see happening at GoDaddy/Afternic right now.
