I've stumbled across Cheap Domains and their .com.au domain pricing is very attractive. They are the cheapest that i've seen at $9/yr which is actually $18/2 yrs. The downside is their .net.au pricing

At a guess, I would say they are loss-leading on the .com.au and making up for it on the .net.au. It's a risky game, as from what I know most people don't buy the .com.au and the .net.au as a pair anymore. They used to, but not anymore.

We sell our .com.au's and .net.au's at $19.95 for 2 years (which is $9.98 per year).

I've contacted them to see if the .com.au price would change when it comes to renewal. They said that it stays at the registration price when it's time for renewal. I'll be transferring some domains to them.

What registration price?
The one at the time of renewal?
The one at the time of transfer?

I use them a bit - They are ok. Just watch that price though, I have seen them sneak in $18 / year every now and then.. Almost got me until I saw $36 in checkout.

The one at the time of the transfer according to them.
