GoDaddy vs. Namecheap: Vote, vote, vote!

Tekime · 06-05-2009, 07:39 PM

In your opinion, who's better - Namecheap or GoDaddy?

I prefer Namecheap by a long shot. It's startling to me that GoDaddy is such a landslide leader. 0.5 billion revenue in 2008 - that's pretty hefty.

Unknown · 06-06-2009, 10:06 PM

I can't stand GoDaddy's website/UI.

Digital_shubhi · 06-11-2009, 03:46 AM

Well, I think Namecheap is good as I see a whole lot of ads while using godaddy and i really don't like it.

albertus1007 · 06-11-2009, 06:48 AM

name cheap better. That's good reason to start.

rikii · 06-11-2009, 07:24 AM

namecheap, I only use goddady for .info's

LaptopFreak · 06-11-2009, 11:13 PM

It is obvious why GoDaddy's profit is so huge. Their marketing campaigns are everywhere! Their prices are high, ads flooded everywhere, oh god...

floatingworld · 06-14-2009, 03:56 AM

namecheap better IMHO

Grand Cross · 06-14-2009, 03:30 PM

20% coupons and prices (only for domains!). Godaddy.

Regards

VladAros · 07-11-2009, 04:15 PM

Prices are better on GoDaddy (.com reg/renew @ $7.69) but you have to keep hunting for coupons. However, the UI is bad and is getting worse.
For now, I use GoDaddy for domains because the lower prices.

However, I also don't use NameCheap for any business domains as it simply looks Cheap

Maurizio1230 · 07-23-2009, 03:55 AM

NameCheap is great for its easy control panel and cheap ssl certificate ;-)

aashwin · 07-26-2009, 04:08 AM

Voted for NameCheap.
Godaddy Interface is just too slow and stupid

7heaven · 07-27-2009, 11:58 AM

Yes you ryt, name cheap is better because the godaddy always use some space to their ads into domain names for parking their ads

We use them both about equally, all based on clients preferences.

Bushidoho · 08-26-2009, 05:27 AM

Namecheap without doubt. I first started on GoDaddy, switched to NameCheap.

Like said in this thread, GoDaddy's site just looks awfull. Next to that they only accept paypal if you have a creditcard now, while NameCheap still accepts PayPal fully.

mariesophy · 08-27-2009, 12:40 PM

Godaddy is best at their rates. i'll always prefer godaddy only

ShawnT81 · 08-29-2009, 06:26 PM

Namecheap most def

Nerz · 08-30-2009, 10:41 PM

I only use godaddy cause EVERYONE, (and their pet dog) are familiar with them, and usually have an account there, so its good for pushing domains. I personally prefer namecheap, and may have to seriously consider expanding my domains with them given the results on this thread, and elsewhere. The godaddy interface is an example of crass commercialization at its best (or worst).

bodil4o · 09-03-2009, 05:14 AM

I hate godaddy's menus but I still use them because .info starts at just 1$ and 20cent

I like that so I use them

beemerrider · 11-09-2009, 12:29 PM

I've used Godaddy for many years and stayed with them because of their prices. But as the amount of domains that we manage has increased over the years, the time it takes to manage them has gotten out of control. So a couple years back I started using NameCheap a little to give them a try. The amount of time we save in managing domains with their minimalist interface and lack of constant upsells and ads is amazing to say the least. We began moving all of our domains to them last year and are getting close to only having about a dozen domains left with GoDaddy. So far it has been a great move. We have had the occasional application failure with NameCheap over the last two years, but it has never been a real deterrent.

**Robin** · 11-09-2009, 08:55 PM

Namecheap is the best.

kemjika11 · 11-09-2009, 10:14 PM

i voted for godaddy....hodaddy always knows best and he pimps me out with nice service and prices. My acct did get hacked once, but all my names were in good order
