Best registrar

They are the best registrar out there you can find. Their website works super fast and is stable like a rock. You can add funds to your account by paypal and then spend them instantly as you need them. This way you don't go to paypal everytime during checkout.

They don't require you to sign a pre-approved payment agreement for paypal unlike crappy godaddy. That agreement means they can take any amounth of money from your paypal (and therefore bank) account anytime for any reason without asking you.

Not many people know about it but their marketplace is integrated to their system at the maximum level. You can put a domain for sale within the same control panel where you change nameservers etc. I have sold more domains at namecheap marketplace then anywhere else. Also it is the fastest place to sell domains.

How fast can be a domain sale? The fastest would be if the buyer has the domain in his account immediately after checkout. This is exactly how namecheap works.

Best registrar I ever had. Fast DNS updates, very easy menu and layout, tons of options, great support. You can not go wrong with these people.

All I use is namecheap. It has a friendly user interface, a great marketplace, and a nice list of features that come with the domain for free! (whois, forwarding, email forwarding, etc..) I Highly recommend this registrar.

Awesome

I use them for all my domains, never had a problem.

Very good domain registrar.

Namecheap is a very good domain registrar. It has very nice features, it's easy to use, and good customer support.

What's the fuss about Namecheap anyway?

I'm giving a new review of Namecheap based on my experience with them. I've had 2 emails not answered by them to date for the past 2 months...so I'm giving them a 2 for customer service. I just don't understand why people keep saying their customer service is so great. In total, I think 5-6 emails have never been replied to....going back over the past 1 year (out of a total of 10-12 emails I sent them).

Compare that to Godaddy (even though generic sounding) ...and thats a lot of difference. Just to be fair, for a brief period, Namecheap did reply back really fast (within a couple of hours), but now its same old support again.

That aside, everything else is ok -> to good. Interface is good. Features good. Price is not the best, but there is a free whois guard for the first year.

But, you know, a domain registrar or reseller that does NOT have a phone number and ONLY has an email HAS to make sure they answer their emails...and for that, they dont.

Not always, anyway.

[Edit] - Have been in contact with Jerry G, and hopefully, Namecheap support will in future, be the top notch support that it deserves to be.

 

[Mikey this way!]

Namecheap is my favourite. It has been the best for me. No probs till date and have been using it for some years now. Support is good and when there is a really problem which they can't handle you can PM enetwork @ WHT. He definately tries to help.

Namecheap = Simple yet Feature Rich CP and FAST.

Review

I've reviewed namecheap before, but I wanted to add that I just had a renewal coming up, and only had $8 in my namecheap account (the renewal fee was $8.88). I contacted customer support, and they sent a coupon code (for Gold members, which I am not) to bring the price down.
Great Service!

Namecheap is very good.

I like namecheap lots, because t is the only place i go through! The prices are very expensive but it is extremly good for wanting to buy from other people.

i give it a 9/10

Do you mean there are some other specila discounts in the Namecheap.com membership area? Can you clarify on this? The only discounts I know of can be found in google and give you a dollar discount.

Most Horrible Never Buy

The most horrible registrar i have seen,
when i scanned it showed available, when i decided to buy it showed already registered, and it was gone 2 days back.
Their databases are more horrible, premium .tv domains are available.
In short i will say quit namecheap

:imho:

Why, I wonder?
Why have you rated namecheap.com service that low?
it would be really interesting to hear, as generally they get higher rates.

And one more point, if or when this thread is over, some general chart on the level of namecheap.com services can be made. :imho:

Individual experience reviews should be respected. This is My review ratings are based on my experience, and I gave 10/10 for interface, features, nearly exellent value, and overall rating above average which is actually good for a company. I do not have to give 10/10 blindly on everything.

 

[bikramjit]

Good

Simple & nice

Review

Namecheap is excellent except for a few points:

There is no option to request refund of unutilised money. [I guess its an Enom policy they are following]

You cannot push domains to/from Enom accounts.

Account locked after creation

NameCheap locked my account just a few hours after I registered and bought a domain from them.

Exactly the same problem for me. I registered some domains, and the second day my account is locked. This is weird, since I paid for it with CreditCard, and I have mailed them from my registration-email-account. So far, no reply yet. Except that they ask for my phonenumber, which I have mentioned in both the registration-process and mentioned in the email.
I hope they will solve this soon, and unlock the account, so that I get what I paid for.

Namecheap problem solved: Account no longer locked

Problem solved. They locked the account, because I claimed the domains from two different IP-addresses. They phoned me, and unlocked the account. Thanks!

Great service, great price, great control panel...

NameCheap offers a fantastic domain registration service. Price is great, considering whoisguard is included. Customer service is alright, but slightly slow to reply at certain times of the day.

Namecheap not as good as they used to be

They were OK but lately I've had issues getting epp codes from them. The message says wait 48 hours and they will email but they dont so I have to ask again. The interface irritates me too. Why do you have to type in your password when you are already in your account to get an epp code that you have to wait for? The prices arent great either. I just dont see them as being a good value anymore
