Great, I have a question for you if you can be bothered.

I recently "bought" a .com domain. It's not a popular English word, it's a small number of letters that match some truncation of my names. No competition, nobody wants it. Anyway, I looked at a handful of registrars and got the cheapest. But then I was a bit concerned. Why are they the cheapest, are they cutting corners somehow? The difference was substancial. GoDaddy was one of the most expensive ones are $23/yr and I bought it from dynadot for something like $6/yr. Why such a huge difference?

I'm reading [1] now thanks for sharing

It's almost impossible to judge based on the pricing alone. Paying top dollar doesn't guarantee anything extra and low prices don't always mean low quality service.

$6.99 looks like a first year discount at dynadot with renewals at $10.88 USD.

A lot of registrants don't know what the wholesale pricing looks like and the difference between $10 or $25 / year for a business isn't a factor. The risk that comes along with transferring to a cheaper registrar isn't worth it to save $15 / year.
