Why Would I Renew My Domain With This Company?

[Omar Negron]

Seems like a company wants me to renew my domain with them, instead of the current registrar where it’s located.

The thing is, this company wants about 4X more money per year for the renewal!

I receive at least 2 of these letters each month (in physical mail/envelope, not email), and have been for about 5 years now. Amazing how much money this company spends mailing these letters to people. With a crazy renewal price. But they're still doing it, so they must find it profitable. It's apparently also all automated, as they don't even bother to check and see if I still own the domain they're mailing for - often it is for domains I've sold or let drop years ago. I used to open and check them out, but now I don't open these anymore, just tear them up and into the recycle bin.

I receive these letters all the time.
If they do it I guess it means it works from time to time.

Same here, this is the 2nd one I've received. I just tear it up and put in the trash.

True, it's a numbers game. Probably send them out to 100 people, maybe 1-2 will chose to renew their domain through that company.

I often receive the same kind of solicitation by email from Domain Expiration SEO

The fun thing about their emails is that 99% of the time, I don't own the domain anymore. Their WHOIS informations are really outdated.

Here is an example:

It's not even about price.
The first question should be: why would you do business with a spammer ?

Nice!

I guess, but I was referring more to the huge difference in price of renewal compared to just renewing with my current registrar.

LOL. They need to do a better job at keeping up to date then...
