The best registrar!

Namecheap is my favorite Registrar. I have only ever encountered one problem, when I tried to transfer a name from another registrar to them. It worked out in the end, but it took a couple of tries. It is great that they have a presence here on Namepros, too...

I think NameCheap is one of the best companies ever! Their website is so great and I've never had one problem with them. They should register more tld's though. They could get a little cheaper too (.info is a good price though.)
Good job NameCheap, hopefully you have more success.

total crap

I am not a person ever to rant and 99.9% in my life I let things go. I find namecheap one of the biggest disapointments in my online life.

I bought a name from a customer of namecheap, they create an account for me and push the name to my new account. The name was over 60 days old so I start a transfer from my godaddy account. It failed the first time so I contacted namecheap, a guy jerry gets back to me within 12 hours and says the lock is removed try again. Again it fails, I contact them, there is jerry again and says there is no reason it would fail. I now amd getting pissed, I call godaddy who days the lock is still on the name. I contacted namecheap several times, each time the same guy responds with a vague and useless answer. It is clear they have limited staff since the chances of getting the same guy each and every time leads me to think it is a one man show. I could not find a number anywhere on their site.

It took many cups of coffee and pulling my hair until the name went to my godaddy account. I would never recommend them and will never purchase a name from their service.

I have been pleased with NameCheap. They are now the company who holds all of my domains. They are extremly fast in the registering of a new domain, transferring DNS numbers, etc... I've seen prices just a tad bit lesser at other places, but the price is good, and I'd say the few cents more is worth the service. I haven't had to deal with the Customer Service, so I'm not going to rate that.

The first thing that strikes me about NameCheap is the features that the customer control panel offers. It has all the features you could possibly request, and they're all very speedy. Payment via PayPal or credit card, you can have a domain bought and working within seconds - literally. They offer a wide range of TLDs at very reasonable prices, and their customer support and service is comprehensive, quick and personal. Best registrar I could recommend. I'd rather pay $8.88 to get a domain from NameCheap than be offered them for free from any other registrar. No dodgy tricks to keep you registering or anything. Perfect.

Hello,

I am with Namecheap.com customer support so as such I won't post a rating as I of course will be biased. I just really wanted to thank everyone that has posted their opinions here (good and bad). It is great knowing that all of our hard work at Namecheap.com has paid off. Once again, I want to personally thank each and every one of you.

Regards,
Michael K.

NameCheap rocks simply because their interface doesn't take 3 years to load, and 10 days to learn how to use. SOme of the more exotic TLDs are a little overpriced (Re: .nu) however, overall they're great.
