Does the renewal cost of a domain from the original registrar transfer to the new registrar? Has anyone experienced significant savings in doing so?
Do you mean the cost of the registrar I'm currently at, or the registrar I'm looking to transfer to?If you have larger portofolio than yes it can save money, mostly transferring has better price than renewing. the renewal price depend of your registrar.
No, the renewal price does not become the same as on the current registrar, each company have their own prices, you have to look at the prices of the registrar where you want to move your domains e.g. register/renew/transfer for each TLD you want to move to them.Does the renewal cost of a domain from the original registrar transfer to the new registrar?

As the above poster mentioned, every registrar has their own pricing. The key is that they may even have lower than posted pricing for large transfers. Also, there are occasional discount coupons and offers on NP. For renewals, with the right timing, you can save much. The best discount pricing tends to be with the Black Friday specials, occurring toward the end of November on or right after Thanksgiving.Does the renewal cost of a domain from the original registrar transfer to the new registrar?

Are you saying that you lost 6 years from your registration due to the transfer? If so, ouch! Was it a new rule that you hadn't realized was now imposed?When transferring a ccTLD, be aware that proprietary rules may be imposed.
Rules that do not extend the expiration date are still better, and there are also ccTLDs with rules that rewrite the following year.
I made the mistake of changing my JP domain from 7 years to 1 year in the past lol
Excellent point.Keep in mind renewal fee's alone shouldn't determine why you're at a particular registrar. You may be sacrificing critical functions just to save a few bucks. A good balance for your needs is always best.
That's on my mind as well.Choosing also based on registrar quality would make sense though, rather than moves simply based on renewal specials or pricing alone.
My 3 AI domains and several ccTLD's are my main reason for wanting to transfer registrars.When transferring a ccTLD, be aware that proprietary rules may be imposed.

I don't remember the original poster, but somebody got hit with premium renewal fees. All of my hand regs were standard. I don't want some additional costs added to the expense of ccTLD renewal fees. There's already a catch as far as AI domains. Unless you wait to the very end of the renewal for AI the remaining time doesn't transfer.No it does not and yes you can experience significant savings particularly when dealing with a significant number of domains.

Wow, so you would need a very reliable registrar for such a transfer? Some registrars in the past were recommending allowing at least two weeks before expiration.There's already a catch as far as AI domains. Unless you wait to the very end of the renewal for AI the remaining time doesn't transfer.
I'll find out and post. Anguilla is trying to monetize on every transaction. I need to read the fine print.For AI, how close does it have to be before expiration, in order to retain the extra years of registration?
