they are not inexplicably low -- any rational person sees that any low prices are one year intro deals that revert to excessive after the first year. We have always hated working with them, and have moved all clients to cloudflare.
You moved from the worst registrar to the second worst registrar. Cloudflare will call you up one day demanding an immediate payment of $150k and holding your domains hostage if you don't comply.
