Opening
"I'm consolidating a large portfolio, about 499 domains and roughly $7,100 a year in renewals ($5,000 across 72 orders so far this year). My DNS is already on Cloudflare and I'm comparing moving registration to Cloudflare Registrar. Before I decide, I'd like to clean up some charges I didn't intend. Can you help, or connect me with someone in retention or an account manager?"

5. Questions
- Discount Domain Club: my membership runs to 2027-02-17. Was member pricing applied to every renewal? If not, please refund the difference.
- Hosting: Web Hosting Maximum is paid through 2028-09-12. I'm moving all 14 WordPress sites off it now; full backups are already taken. What prorated refund or credit do I get when I cancel, and can I cancel it now and keep it running until the migration is done?
- oob.dev: it was in my account this morning and is gone now. What happened, and can I recover it without a redemption fee?
- xsysctl: I meant to register xsysctl.app, but only xsysctl.com shows in my account. Please check.
- Retention: is there a volume or retention discount on renewals for a portfolio this size?
Already done, no need to ask
- Auto-renew is OFF on 60 domains, set through the API on 2026-09-28. That includes every .io, .ai, .network and .id except firmwaredb.io.
- Still ON on purpose: litecloud.com and firmwaredb.io. Don't change either.
- Maybe keeping: psirt.io, opentxt.io and fileable.io. Their auto-renew is off for now, with no rush: psirt.io and opentxt.io expire 2027-02, fileable.io 2027-09.
