I'm in the Namesilo discount program so it is $11.95 with free WHOIS privacy. Does porkbun have free WHOIS privacy? I'm not willing to go with CF for the DNS reasons, so exploring other options.
The thing nobody is talking about is that .com renewals will be $13.95 a year ... whether you are in the discount program, or not. This is my motivation to head for the exit ... but as a reseller of domains, where to go?
If you NEED a .com domain, you should be willing to pay $14 per year if you want it to last more then a year. If you are using it to make money, then it's not a issue.
Otherwise just get a cheap domain with different extension. You can get a domain for 10 years at or bellow $50.
There are sites that have existed for years. Not every good site is making money. Sure, you can 301 your site to a cheaper domain, but this .com price hike does have some very strong fuck-the-poor vibes IMO.
.com are for companies. So if it's a personal site, it's better to choose something cheaper.
I do understand the issue if the site is used by many people and you are providing the service for free, in which case you rather not change the domain. But in that case, it's better to keep a main domain and use the subdomains for each type of site instead of 1 domain per site.

My point is (correct me if I'm wrong) that Internet used to be a lot "more free," while now it is being controlled and milked for money.
sheldonbrown.com, for example, is a free, pure HTML site (so very low resource demands apart from storage space) with a treasure of bike-maintenance and riding tips. It runs Google ads so I suppose it can be financed by itself (the maker/owner is long deceased now), but not every site does, nor should be "forced" to run the damn ads just to share the info for free.
There are people for whom even $1 is a lot.
Having said all this, if it hadn't been done from the start, it could be done now:
pronounce a cheap domain extension for non-profit, with a "guaranteed" low renewal and registration price. That would be a decent move.
What is the extension with the cheapest renewal (not just cheap registration) now anyway?

.com is relatively cheap. Many extensions are far more expensive

I get mine off aliexpress for $40 usually. Expensive, but still cheaper then $200 and usually similar or better quality. You can get better quality here for $300+ but who got that kind of money?

I have had 400 euros prescription glasses. Just found on internet zenni website tried them anf they are pretty good to be honest. I have checked them to regular glasses shop and their specifications are the same in matter of lenses. And with shipping their cost is about 20 euros. Definitely give it a try . Risk is low. 20 euros True that frames are not luxury ones or lenses are not brand ones but ....... I mean brand glasses ( prescription ones) meh .

It isn't what I need, it is what my clients demand.
Besides, you missed the point entirely -- NameSilo used to charge the same amount for renewals as they did for new registrations. The fact that this will no longer be the case if you are a member of their "Discount" program, was my point.

Not only namesilo, maximum companies are increasing renewal/transfer fees.
