On: Cloudflare launches Workers Unbound, next evolution of its serverless platform

Isn't speculation affected deterred by higher pricing? What is preventing you to add a "new domain" cost on top of the renewal?

As a customer I would be ready to pay a bit extra rather than go through the purchase at NameCheap. wait 60 days, and then transfer dance.

We could, but we promised we’d never charge more than the wholesale price. One experiment we’re playing with is bundling a highly discounted Cloudflare plan with new registrations. So you get registration at cost and a paid Cloudflare services at a significant discount.

Dual pricing for new vs transfers is industry standard. I'm happy to pay a one-off $1 fee for new registrations (and additional years/renewals are cost price).

I don't even think you've misled anyone by doing this, since it's essentially a new product (new domain registrations).

YEs just bundle something with the Domain, like adding $2 per domain while give you $5 of Workers Unbound Credit.
