I just bought a site where in the domain was pushed to my account at eNOM. Now it looks like the renewal would cost me $29! How are these people able to sustain their business when domain names are now available for $7 elsewhere? Or have I overlooked something?

My domain provider is/was a reseller of that company and they told me also strange things, but a renewal for this money sounds criminal.

Not yet.. i have another 8-9 months left. What I am surprised at is I bought the site for something around the same price. So there must be a way to register/renew at a lower price.

that's possible, but I think you got this name from a reseller, they get lower rates for sure...
You can allways move your domains to another registrar
but do i need to pay for that?

no, you normaly only pay your renewal fee. So you pay for one year registration and they get you moved over and extend your current registration period with one year.

yes that's normally less then 10 USD with a .com domain (I think the same for .net and .org) there are also domain names where the period re-starts with a transfer
