Register.com $200 transfer fee!!!!

[domaindirk]

Register.com just changed the price of transferring a domain from $35 to $200. Have they gone nuts?

 

[Tippy]

Are they still your preferred registrar as per your profile? I had thought that everyone got their Domains out of there.

Not all. But that is about to change.

You mean OWNERSHIP transfer, do you?

 

[domaindirk]

Yes. But 35$ to 200$!! What would justify such an increase? Extreme greed?

 

[WildCard]

Yeah, certainly they aren't charging to transfer away....

would make for an interesting policy shift.

They are digging their own grave now. For $35, I have already been transfering REGISTRAR together with ownership; now with $200, they are simply asking people to leave! Stupid!

i'm glad i have moved all my names from them.

forget register.com
they will soon disappear in the internet industry

I'll give them $500 for the domain register.com

Well, to be fair, they sold AfterNIC.com for way much more than that.

their form:

about 1/2 way down they mention the $200 fee

talk about luck...
I got my last 'decent' domain outta there last month!

now I only have about 10 hostaged domains, but they can keep em.

 

[Gee]

register.com get very good traffic and has a good name and reputation

i think even if they changed the price they know what they are doing and they will frighten out those customers whom they don't need any more
