Question on HugeDomains and others !!

[domvault]

I have a 5 part question :

1. HugeDomains.com has over 350,000 domains. Do they actually pay a 10 $ renewal fee or not ?

2. I am not sure but I think they are somewhat in tie up with GoDaddy, and don't have to pay any renewal fee (or a minimum ICANN fee ). NOT SURE !! If someone can elaborate on this one ?

3. How much is the actual cost to a registrar for a .com registration (in particular) ? They charge around 10 $ for a .com registration (+ small ICANN fee)(a little less if you are a club member) but what it actually costs them ?

4. Is there a renewal cost to worry about for other domain investment firms like Hugedomains.com ..etc ?

Additional question : I have to renew around 100 .com domains on Godaddy , it cost around 10-12 $ per domain ? Is there any way I could save some money ? (Please respond to this question in particular )

THANKS ALL !!

HugeDomains.com, DropCatch.com and NameBright.com owned by same person called Andrew Reberry. (@Rebies )

They used to drop catch expired domains with their own dropcatching service called DropCatch.com

Dropcatch.com uses NameBright/ TurnCommerce as their registrar.

2. I am not sure but I think they are somewhat in tie up with GoDaddy, and don't have to pay any renewal fee (or a minimum ICANN fee ). NOT SURE !! If someone can elaborate on this one ?

There is no need for HugeDomains to tie-up with godaddy for renewal since they have their own Registrar.

Note : NameBright also offers very cheap registration/transfer/renewal for $8.03 (At cost Reg)

3. How much is the actual cost to a registrar for a .com registration (in particular) ? They charge around 10 $ for a .com registration (+ small ICANN fee)(a little less if you are a club member) but what it actually costs them ?

Domain Cost for Registrar = $7.85 (Verisign Fee) + 0.18 (Icann Fee)

4. Is there a renewal cost to worry about for other domain investment firms like Hugedomains.com ..etc ?

Nope, I don't think so.

Transfer your domains to other reputed registrars like Namesilo, Dynadot, Namecheap, Name.com etc.

Namesilo - $8.39

Name.com - $8.25

NameBright - $8.03

If you want to know more about domain pricing Domcomp.com is good guide for that.


Hope this helps.
