Does Namecheap have automatic credit card billing for renewals nowadays? I wouldn't consider it "better" if it still doesn't.

Shockingly, no. A few months ago I started registering new domains with them, and was very surprised that you had to buy credits for your account instead of having an auto-renew.

I went with name.com instead when moving from Godaddy today. Name.com is about the same price as Namecheap, and they do appear to have automatic billing. The only nicer thing about Namecheap was the cheap SSL certs you could get with a domain purchase.

I went with name.com as well. With the "NODADDY" coupon you get 10% off on transfers. My .coms were 6.65 I think.

I use Name.com as well. Excellent interface, support staff, and easy-to-use website.
