Way round Godaddy forcing privacy renewal

As it has been a year on now my domains that had privacy free by Godaddy is up for renewals.

I have got around a hundred domain to renew this month, so I did and to my surprise the price doubled! why? because the renewal is fixed on Godaddy's checkout and there's no way to take it off, getting a bit worried thinking maybe I will have to drop most of them.

Then I did some research and found nobody has the answer, so I did some experiment and worked it out. Here it is :

First you have to cancel your privacy registration with domainsbyproxy.com 

they would have sent you an email when you reg the domain, giving you your id, but as most people like me would have deleted the email.

Don't worry if you did, because all you have to do is to click forgot id on the log in page on domainsbyproxy.com and you can retrieve your id by entering the domain name, and they will send an email to you again.

After you cancelled the privacy registration with them, on Godaddy's checkout privacy reg will not be forced on you.
