GDPR changes hitting March 1st and registrars are scrambling. WHOIS privacy going from "nice to have" to "legally mandatory" in some interpretations, but costs are all over the map. I've got 47 domains across 6 registrars and need to bulk-enable privacy before the rush.
Did you test your restore? Also, 3-2-1 rule applies to domain portfolios too:
- 3 registrars minimum
- 2 with privacy
- 1 offline backup of auth codes
Who's found actual bulk deals, not marketing fluff?

I JUST RAN THE NUMBERS ON HETZNER'S "BULK DISCOUNT" AND IT'S A TRAP! 50 DOMAINS AT "BULK" = $3.50 EACH! 10 DOMAINS AT REGULAR = $3.20 EACH! WHO DESIGNED THIS?! SCREENSHOTS ATTACHED! NEVER APOLOGIZES FOR VOLUME!

Classic bulk pricing failure. The virtualization tax applies to registrar economics too: layers of abstraction between list price and checkout logic. Hetzner's probably using a tiered discount table with inverted thresholds. Cgroup limits for your wallet.
No surprises. Check the per-unit math always.

Proxy service isn't the same thing though
