Better service than Namecheap with cheaper options?

I have been with Namecheap for a few years and used to really like them, but over the past year their interface has had numerous slow or inoperative days.

I think thay must have new management or something like a policy change is going on behind the scenes. Maybe things are starting to slip and they are just too big now so finding it difficult to stay on top of everything.

Also their prices have gone up too so I'm looking for a good registrar, at least under 8.99, so if anyone can recommend a reliable one I wil be very tempted to move my large number of domains.

Basically ok but support questionable at times. A couple of their staff are "always right" and have to have the last word. Their forums seem to be full of people who are very happy or very unhappy!

Beware of their Marketplace, I bought some truly dodgy domains from there that seem to have been dumped by a major spamming operation.

On the whole Namecheap are fine but their interface is a little buggy at times.

I have a mixed review for NameCheap, mainly because of the customer service. I can completely understand that they, amongst MANY other sites, have tons and tons of people contacting them every day. In fact I can appreciate that. The thing that always gets my goat, is that either they say they didnt GET my contact form or email, they take 20 days to answer back, or they reply back but just arent very helpful at all. On the other hand if you are looking for good prices, a VERY easy user interface, and lots of cool features, then NameCheap is the place to go. Ive been a member since 04 and the customer service complaint, is the ONLY complaint I have.

As I am not a very big domainer, I do just about all of my registrations through NameCheap. Over the past few years that I have used them, I have been impressed. Given, the fee is a little higher than some other registrars, but you get what you pay for. NameCheap has consistently included a free Whois Guard subscription for 1 year with every new domain registration, and is currently offering a free SSL security certificate for new registrations.
Customer service is nice - easy to use live chat interface. I don't use their hosting, but NameCheap just recently (about a year ago) added web hosting to their services. I've been impressed and will continue to use them.

After about 3-4 years of using NameCheap I'm still extremely happy with them. As mentioned above, prices may be higher but for the service and peace of mind I think its worth it.

NameCheap for me rank up there as the top 3 registrars - other two being DynaDot and Moniker.

10/10

Namecheap.com offers competitive prices and quickly processes orders. Recently I tried pushing .info domains out of namecheap and was very puzzled since I was not allowed to unlock the domains first. Finally I pushed the domains as they were (locked) and it worked. Unfortunately their bulk search does not seem to function properly, and the SSL status is not consistent. From what I've read on the namecheap forums, the staff is working to fix SSL issues. Despite a couple of technical problems, Namecheap.com has been a good registrar.

At first, remembering of bad experiences with RegisterFly, I felt reluctant to register more than a few, non-premium domains with NameCheap. It seemed too good to be true. But I was finally convinced, and now maybe half of my domain names are with them.
The prices are very reasonable, the interace is excellent and fast - much faster than the interface of most other registrars. It is easy to use. I can only recommend them, never any problem, except when I needed to push names to other accounts - this sometimes had to be done manually.
Since they have received ICANN accreditation last year, I hope that they will soon make full use of it and stop to be resellers of eNom - but the fact that they didn't hurry probably speaks for them.
