Spaceship shows the price, namecheap hasn't when I've purchased clarified that it's a first year only price.



I personally think that's a reading comprehension issue on your part, but maybe submit feedback with specifics about what's confusing to you/what you'd like to see instead?


Your jab at reading comprehension seems misplaced.

If you run a search for a ___domain such as readingcomprehension.com:

Namecheap does show renewal prices; they also interchange it in the readingcomprehension.io with a "Retails at" price, which does not mean renew. Those are the prices that can change.

It's an easy miss.. before diagnosing a 'comprehension' critique and feeling entitled to the labour of others to convince you otherwise - double-checking the page (below the fold) might save you from the irony.

Clarity matters, both in web design and in critiques. I was hoping you might go do a search and read below the fold.


It wasn't meant as a jab, I'm trying to figure out where your confusion is. Even in that imgur gif, I can clearly see what the renewal price will be.

I think what you're wishing for is another line that indicates the price from year 2 on? I could see how being more explicit about what that "renewal price" means would help clear this kind of confusion up. I don't work at namecheap, I have no power over this kind of thing, I'm just interested to see where your confusion is and what would help with it.


I think you still have missed it..

Namecheap has two wordings under a price:

1) Renewal price

2) Retail Price (when the price is discounted).

In the case of #2, there is no clarity or guarantee that the price listed is the renewal price.
