Domain names are pretty much a set-and-forget thing.

You can get into a cheap registrar and pay for 10 years in advance.

I'm paying $7.75 elsewhere and perfectly satisfied.

Oh and by the way, NameCheap is essentially an enom reseller,

remember the registerfly/enom fiasco a few years ago?

Where are you paying $7.75? I've been looking for an alternative to Godaddy.

Search "register domain GoDaddy" on Google and click on their sponsored links. They contain an embedded coupon code bringing down the .com price under 8 USD (the ad is targeted for most countries).

It may have been unclear in my message, but I'm looking for an alternative to Godaddy for reasons other than pricing.

I use Internet.bs. They're great and a .com only costs $7.49

They don't upsell anything, unlike the others do, and private registration/transfer is free.

They were an enom reseller, but that is no longer true (since around the start of 2008).
