Comment on Name.com: Another Unscrupulous Registrar

Comments

Have you tried Namecheap? I register all of my domains with them and they've always exceeded my expectations.

I second this, I have used namecheap for the past 5 years and have had no problems.

really happy namecheap customer here, have converted serveral friends and never had problems, live chat support and cheap prices always :)

I too am with Namecheap after getting totally disgusted by Godaddy's terrible interface. I'm very happy with it. Plus, I think Namecheap was actually cheaper than Godaddy for my .net, anyway.

I too am a GoDaddy refugee at Namecheap. Very happy so far - responsive support, half decent interface and no upselling.

But you do wonder about the name... given they're a domain name company you'd think they'd have a better one.

I've had several domains with Namecheap - never had any problems whatsoever with them, and as far as I know they don't have the lack-of-ethics baggage several of these other really questionable registrars seem to have.

I estimate I helped 50-some people to switch from GoDaddy to Namecheap after GoDaddy's last meltdown. I haven't heard any complaints, and they're all happy not to be doing business with the likes of GoDaddy any more.
