Namecheap, GoDaddy, and Registro.br on the seat bill

Namecheap only passes “domain registration” hype if per-active-seat price is written down.

GoDaddy shows near “cheap domain registration”; measure real seats, not the brochure.

Keep Registro.br ready to freeze the shortlist if family plans hide overage.

Fails that kill annual

• Seats on Namecheap/GoDaddy sold without active logins.
• Family plan on Registro.br with no device cap.
• “namecheap vs godaddy” never becomes cost per seat.
• Incomplete sheet with 2+ seats.

Seat go / no-go

Consider annual on compare-domains only with a green sheet and cost/seat <= $22. Otherwise stay monthly.

Seat math for domain registration

year-2 renew. Write the price outside the promo year on Namecheap; log contracted seats vs active logins.

transfer lock. Confirm auth/epp codes in the panel on GoDaddy; compare a family/team of 7 people.

DNS SLA. Time propagation on a test record on Registro.br. No written per-seat price → sheet fails.

Three paths a team runs in Spokane
