NameCheap are simply the best.
They have all of the features you will ever need which just as importantly is easy to use. When I sent customer service an email (only needed to once in 3 years) I got a response within 10 minutes.

As for the value, it's far cheaper than other registrars who offer hardly any support, if any at all plus NameCheap give you a free whois guard!

Namecheap I need HELP please.. I need help

Can someone here get in touch with Jerry or Michael K. a domain renewal notice was sent ot my yahoo email and it went straight t my junk mail folder.. the domain expired in 3 days accordign to the renewal notice.. the client calls me today to tell me the domain has expired and it has all the expired labels on a highly visited site that goes onTV... yet it has expired.. I am in big trouble.. I check whois and truly AfterNIC wants me to buyit from them for $39 or nothing less than $200 i do not know which..I have just a little less than 12 hrs to rectify this problem . I really need a phone number i can reach them on.. pls anybody here has that number? I need to talk to them one on one.. or can you read my email and see what problem i have , maybe you can persuade Namecheap to let me renew or re-register and not have to go to AfterNIC and spend teh next 2 days negotiatign while my contract goes belly-up because i missed a 3-day grace period. please help me here

Many Apologies for my first email. i panicked and did not know what to do next but beg

1: This renewal notice came in 3 days ago from today

2: It came straight to my junk folder.. so i naturally did nt read it until now

3: I wish to renew but it has obviously expired after giving me a grace period of three days

4: Please Namecheap. this is one of my valued clients and i need to renew today before they get up inthe morning and maybe take the job to someone else.

5: I usually geta 30-day notice.. but this came in just 3days before expiry.. It is hardly my fault that i did not check my email junk box everytime.

6: Can it be given 3 more days so i can renew. if i cannot renew, i wish to register again.

7: AfterNIC now own the domain. they put $39 dollars on it. I shall try to pay but getting it back up and running will take time 24/72 hours maybe. I cannot afford that wait as it would mean some level of unprofessionalism on my part and a bad appraisal for the IT guys at theclien'ts office.

8: What can we do to resove this peacefully.



At least let me register if i cannot renew.

Thanks

Note: forwarded message attached.

My favorite registrar. At $8.88 for .coms, they are one of the cheapest too. i just wish their whois gaurd were a bit cheaper. It is free for the first year, after that $2.88/ year

Never had reason to call on customer service, so I am not rating them on that.

NameCheap are definitely one of the best. If not THE best.

Customer service - response times are a little slow at around 6 hours usually, not much of a problem though.
Interface is excellent and domains are always regged quickly.
They don't try and sell you additional services or try to force feed you other TLDs like GoDaddy does.

My only real problem is the lack of coupons/discounts. I understand they need to make a profit, and I usually use NameCheap for all my domains, but with GoDaddy special offers a domain costs <$5 compared to NameCheaps $7.99 (with coupon)

Unfortunately when you're broke, every penny counts. Even if they just had a special offer for bulk domain registrations, it'd be enough for me to use them every time.

Highly recommended.

I've never had any issues or problems with NameCheap that I've had with other registrars. The DNS updates resolve incredibly quickly and I am able to do anything I'd ever want to do and more in the fully-featured control panel.

Almost all of my domains are at Namecheap. I think their interface is great - much better than their competitors, very easy to use. They have some nice features - have sold several domains on their marketplace. Prices are slightly higher than several other companies and they don't seem to have any discount vouchers anymore which is a bit of a down point. I've never had any need to contact their customer service department but I have heard that it may not be the best around - I can't comment on this though.. Anyway on the whole I highly recommend Namecheap

The prices are low, the site is easy to use and you get lots of features with every domain you purchase.
Nothing bad to say about them (yet).

I really like the free whoisguard and easy push to another user. There are almost always coupon codes around too so I can get single .coms for $7.99
