discuss Where to buy 300 domains with privacy policy for bulk pricing?

[sweetfranky]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to purchase 300 domains with privacy policy. My budget is about $1,500. Any idea of where to go for this?

Regards and Thanks in advance,
Sweetfranky

This is just not possible. 300 domains with privacy for $5 each is not going to happen anywhere. You can get them at somewhere like NameSilo for about $9 each with free privacy, but 300 domains is going to cost more than $1,500. That's about the best you are going to do for domains with privacy.

Wow! I didn't realize Namesilo had free privacy. Now that Godaddy Coupons are no more, and paying $9 per domain is standard; I might as well switch. Any downside to Namesilo?

Nope.. they even have the equivalent of afternic's 'fast transfer' (with SEDO) which is handy

Nothing I have found yet, I haven't used them much though. They do have a real good reputation though.

Free privacy at Uniregistry. With a 300+ domain portfolio, you're bound to get discounts competitive to Namesilo. Ask sales@uniregistry what they can do.

NameSilo recommended. Great service at cheap prices. $8.99/domain.

If you're going to register 300 domains, you can get further discount. See here:

Thanks for the replies guys, really appreciate it.

So far, I plan on contacting:
Godaddy
1and1
internetbs.net
moniker.com
name.com
namesilo.com

I'm hoping I can at least get them for $7 a domain.

I'll be sure to update this thread to let you guys know. :D

Add Uniregistry to the list as well per Davids suggestion...

Also, I don't see why it would be a bad idea to link this thread to your request.

Namesilo recommended, has bulk rates and discount scheme for prepay. Looks like with 100+ domains in cart price would be $8.49 each.

Check out their migration rates - they gain ten transfers in for every transfer out so GD lost about 100k names to Namesilo:

Just a word of caution

there's a lot of bad word around concerning 1&1.. you might want to do some research on them first
same goes for moniker... I read a lot of users are very frustrated with them.

I should note that I use neither of them, it's just what I read in the forums

You are welcome.

If you value your sanity and don't like beating your head against the wall, STAY AWAY FROM 1&1 !!!

Do a search...

Never ever use 1&1 or Moniker - I escaped both and it was not easy. Seriously, having domains there means risking losing them, as well as the hassle of using systems that do not work.

I remember a few of my first domains were regged with 1&1. I immediately realised something was off when:
a. it was extremely hard and confusing to navigate on their platform
b. support was very hard to reach . I remember I couldn't get into my account for two days and there was no-one to help me
and
c. I got charged a month or two after I regged the domains(?).. that made my financial stats a total mess 'cause there was no way to find out how much I owed them and all their answers made things even more confusing.

That was quite sometime ago though and I only had 3 domains there

After GD removed $1-3 coupons I see no reason to stay with them - for any new names I use Namesilo (I like the free whois privacy).
So far so good.

After a year, are some of you guys going to transfer back to GoDaddy at $7.99 and sing its praises again?

It'd take a lot more (or less) than $8 to move back to GD .

Why do that, when I can get more or less the same price at Namebright with 1 year free privacy?

\..and don't forget one more thing:
at large companies, like GD, you're talking with a random support guy that -usually- knows f. all , whereas on smaller companies you usually talk with people that actually listen to you and solve your problems on the spot.

I have never so far received any bot-like responses from either Namesilo or Namebright.. I can't say the same for GD.

@Hypersot, most domainers don't want privacy, and many seek for the lowest cost.

Why I posted what I posted, is because I can foresee that the same people who decide to leave GoDaddy due to the end of $1-3 coupons, will likely be the same people who will move back to GoDaddy one year later due to their unmatched $7.99 transfer price.

@sweetfranky , the wholesale cost of .com to the registrars is $7.85 by Verisign and $0.18 by ICANN. If they were to sell them at cost to you, it will be $8.03.

Enjoy this price till November 2018, due to a price freeze in place.

 

[Hypersot]

...most domainers don't want privacy, and many seek for the lowest cost.

Don't forget we interact in a thread that involves '300 domains *with* privacy'
also, Namebright charge $8.03 reg fee (plus paypal's fees) and they charge *the same* for renewals. In my book that's called low cost.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, I'm just noting

I don't think this is going to happen, registrars pay just shy of $8 per domain to the .COM registry.
