Namecheap Reviews & Product Details

The price. Seriously, cheap being in their name isn't a joke. I shopped around for domains for a few development projects and their introductory offer and continued pricing could not be beaten. The processing time for domain updates is quick compared to previous companies I have gone through. They automatically enforce two factor authentication. They offer a very affordable whois blocking solution.

Their dashboard for domain management could use a little more polish or navigation hints. I feel like every time I visit I have to look up how to set up a new record again for my domain whereas that should be one of the key features I'm pointed to.

Cheap hosting for trivial domain entities. Whois lookup protection.

I’ve used them for 16 years, I trust them. Namecheap are reliable, cost effective and efficient. I have never had any serious problems with their domain name registration services. If you’re connecting up your domain name to Google Mail, it’s really easy to do from an interface, you don’t need to mess about with the DNS records yourself. It is relatively straight forward to manage your DNS registration from here, register your own hosted DNS.

They don’t have the functionality to properly manage Australian domain names (.com.au), performing tasks such as WHOIS updates for .com.au is not an easy task to complete with Namecheap

Namecheap may not be the ‘big brand’ that you’ve seen advertised on TV, on the radio, in newsletter or on large billboards, nor does it do crazy promotional deals, however in my experience and countless other webmasters it is reliable, trustworthy and efficient, with a good level of support. It may be worth paying an immaterial couple of bucks more for domain name reliability in the grand scheme of things.

It's very simple to buy domains there. The customer and technical support are more than 5 stars, they actually pay attention to what you're saying and they do their best to understand your requirement, it seems as if they never give you canned responses. They actually care about you and if your case is solved. If you need a refund, it's also no-questions-asked (so long as you're still in the refund period of grace). A big plus is that they make very clear what you're buying in your shopping cart.

Sometimes the pagination of the marketplace are doesn't work. Most of the time it doesn't. When you're trying to "fish" expiring or cheap domains in their marketplace, you might not get past of page 6 or so, so the pagination is broken or otherwise not working properly. To work around this you have to apply filters to really segment what you're looking for and/or is available to buy.

They have a very fast and no-nonsense support. The checkout process is really friction-less, so if you're in a rush you can buy fast the domain you need. Tagging domains makes easy to manage your domain portfolio, specially if you have to take care of domain branding for your customers.

Namecheap is a great hosting platform for simple sites and purchasing domains. Their user interface is simple and modern. Their cPanel is great and modern and using it to point DNS to the right folder is easy to follow.

They recently started having affiliates email you about verifying your SEO. it confused a few of my new customers as they didn't realize it was optional addons that they were being sold.

Namecheap is great for new or young businesses or businesses that can't justify spending $30 a month on hosting.

Amazing pricing, great ease of use, modern and intuitive UI along with top notch control over your domains.

Sometimes the support is unclear - however they always ensure your issue is swiftly resolved.

Incredibly cheap and quick to use when you really need to check and register that domain fast.

I've been building websites since the 90's, and used so many hosting companies I've lost count. But I've never found any company whose tech support team was as knowledgeable, and well-prepared as Namecheap's. When it's 3.00am, and you've been wrestling with some crazy website connectivity issue for the last 6 hours, you're hyper-aware you have to do the draft handover the final site to the client at 9:00am, and you finally give in and contact the hosting company to help you out, you really want the people you're chatting with on the other end to KNOW what the heck they're talking about! And Namecheap's staff somehow, always do. I don't care about their website builder and all of that superfluous tosh; what I need is decent geeky nerds on hand who know what they're doing! They're not the cheapest of the hosting companies out there, but a couple of dollars extra per month are definitely worth it for the quality and the great support. But you can always pick up a nice little discount on new hosting accounts and domain name purchases. Don't cheap out when it comes to your business people!!! Also, there's no denying they have the best up-time, and the simplest purchasing process in their class. I like that kind of convenience. Finally, I rather like that they're involved in the fight to keep the web free and clear of external over-regulation.

I don't think that only providing chat and email support is the best; sometimes it's nice to talk with support, so a telephone support service would be nice to see. Having said that, I've never had a support issue go unsolved, so I guess they don't need it!

I need reliable, fast, secure hosting with constant up-time, and absolutely excellent tech support. Namecheap delivers on all counts, and have done for the past 6 years.

+ I'm actually a new customer , Namecheap was recommended to me by a highly skilled friend of mine who is working on domain names registration and hosting services , well i did take his words and bought a great domain from that company , the best thing a like about there service is the customer support they have a great live chat platform when you can chat with some really cool guys if you face any problem! + Fast delivery ; when you buy a domain or a hosting plan from them , they really set it up withing minutes! or even seconds of your purchase ! i can assure that , from my experience. + Great discounts for your first registration Plan! + They provide you with an advanced Cpanel control where you can install every open source CMS like worpdressn , joolma , drupal .. with simple clocks! which saves you a lot of time setting up database account and installing your CMS manually + Highly skilled support guys

So far everything is alright , apart from a small problem i had in installing SSL certificate which was a fault from my part i did'n't synchronized the domain with the certificate properly , well when i contacted them they provided me with the right solution and i fixed the issue.

I started and app developing project, so i needed to set up a good and a cheap domain for that purpose , to promote our new developed apps , everything went smooth and quick i didn't had much time , to do all the work , you know creating a database , installing the scripts needed and securing the website , and when i logged into the control panel i was surprised with the process automation i went trough everything was Up & Running withing 2 hours or so , that saved me a huge time! thanks to there great service

Namecheap has a hassle-free domain name search system, allowing easily find the right domain without the complexity of other providers. Prices are very reasonable, with coupons being actively promoted on their website and NO hidden fees or taxes. Their support team is very quick to respond, especially with their live chat system. After 6 years of use, they have never failed to resolve any issues within a matter of minutes. You can also integrate their API with your systems - we use this to sell domain names through our own website, delivering access and control of the domain to our clients through our own site and branding. It's also worth noting that their DNS servers are very quick to adapt, with the ability to get the domain pointed to a website within minutes of registration. WHOIS privacy protection is free for the first year, followed by a small fee, while SSLs can be purchased for under $3 USD with a new domain!

Other than the inability to change a username and some other account settings, we have no major issues with Namecheap.

Namecheap allows us to instantly register and access domains at very affordable prices. This allows us to get clients' websites up and running when needed.

On the internet some people say that one can find other hosting and domain name providers that are better than namecheap. They are wrong. For buying domain names, namecheaap is simply the best! For hosting namecheap is better than 90% of the hostng providers. For me it is number one. Namecheap is a Russian company, and they have their data centers in Europe and USA. When you buy your hosing you can choose where your site is going to be hosted. Great if you have the site in english and hosted in USA. Namecheap is also the cheapest provider on the internet for the domain names and hosting. A com domain name is 10 USD, and the cheapest hosting is 10 USD. (if you renew it is 39.99 USD). No other companies have such cheapest hosting on the web. The speed of the hosting is in top 10% of the companies. And their support is great! You can call them at any hour and they will make the impossible to help you. You get to talk with young people, people that know to help you. So choose namecheap, although this is a Russian company is better than other dedicated hosting providers like HostGator or iPage.

For site speed there are some companies (dedicated hosting providers) that are better but this company is in top 10%.

I have my own website hosted on namecheap www.show-my-homework.com Namecheap is great for hosting.

The control panel is easy to use and well laid out. It's easy to enter custom DNS settings and there are some preconfigured settings for services such as gmail.

The control panel is sometimes slow to load but seems to work well once cachd
