"Great domain registar - good prices, great service, honest behavior. Recommended!"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

I have been using Namecheap for years and the most important thing for me is that I know I can trust them with my domains, and that their behavior will always be fair, and that has always been the case for me.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

The control panel is well structured and designed, but in some cases it did take me a lot of time and navigation to find the functionality I was looking for. This aspect can be improved.

What problems is Namecheap solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use them to register domains for business and personal use. The prices are fair, they have great tools for checking and purchasing domains, and it's easy to maintain the domains once purchased. I have complete piece of mind with relation to my domains.

"The registry I use for .com names"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

As the name suggests, they are cheap, but they don't compromise on quality. The service is secure with 2FA logins. I have used for over 10 years and never run into any problems.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

As an Australian, I find their .com.au and .au domains over priced compared my local wholesale resistries. Also, as a reseller, I find their resller program overly complicated compared to most that just give you a wholesale price. The process for resllers was so cumbersome I just gave up and pay retail price. My review won't take this into account however, I will just base my star review on the componenets I do use, which is retail purchase of .com names.

What problems is Namecheap solving and how is that benefiting you?

Good place to buy and manage .com names

"Best domain provider that you ever had"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

Simplicity. Support. Price. That's all I need to say. But, they deserve many other words and I will express my experience in a little more text. First of all, they have excellent support. I had used the chat option most of the time when I needed help. I don't have to have a specific problem, just a question, but they had a solution for every problem and answered any question. I want to say that it is really helpful to use the support chat, it's not just for chit-chat. I have two domain names there and use the free WHOIS for them. The Monitoring app had some issues, but they will fix them soon, maybe they are already done fix. I have to say that I am very happy with my purchase and experience with the Namecheap provider.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

Hosting options is something that I will love for them to have better. Because, in that case, I will love to transfer all to them but for now, I cant fit in the hosting plans with just one WP site per plan.

What problems is Namecheap solving and how is that benefiting you?

I didn't have a domain name and I needed it for one reasonable price. I got it from them. They have all the domains you can imagine.

"Awesome for Buying Domain"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

A few months back I bought a domain on Namecheap and I must say that the UI is user-friendly. During the purchase, I encountered a problem and right away I was able to connect to customer care through live chat and they fixed my problem. It also has an option for domain auto-renewals and It will auto-renew my domain before the domain expiry date.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

The DNS management panel of Namecheap domains might be confusing for beginners. The UI of DNS Panel should be improved

What problems is Namecheap solving and how is that benefiting you?

Through Namecheap domains, I can buy domains for managing my different businesses. They also offer different coupon codes to get instant discounts, unlike other platforms. They also offer domain privacy free(forever) for domains unlike other platforms.

"Namecheap the best best Domain Name provider application at lower cost"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

One of the most helpful things regarding Namecheap domains is that we can easily purchase multiple extension domain names at a reasonable cost since Namecheap offers regular discounts on their products. Even the renewal cost of domain names is affordable, so there are no issues with buying domain names through Namecheap

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

The thing I don't like with Namecheap is that at times they attempt to upsell their extra services or products while the checkout process, which is frustrating for me because is tends to make me lose my precious time with plenty of details that I'm not interested

What problems is Namecheap solving and how is that benefiting you?

The most helpful about Namecheap domains is that they usually propagate very quickly, which helps in making the site live immediately and we can start creating our site. Also the DNS management of domains is so simple and easy for us, no need to have any technical knowledge to maintain those.

Sometimes they try to upsell additional products or services during the checkout process, and it's annoying because it makes me lose time with a lot of information I'm not interested in.

The best feature of Namecheap is that it provides 24/7 customer support via live chat and email, which is helpful when I need assistance when I have technical problems.

"Namecheap is best for Domain ( They Offer really good discount)"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

Namecheap is the best domain seller because they offer discounts almost every time we visit, and I purchase a lot of domains from name cheap, and I also recommend them to others.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

I do not see any issue with Namecheap, Namecheap is a good domain service provider, and they give almost a discount every month to their customers and also provide the good support.

Namecheap provides discount as per domain variants just like .com .org. and they applied the value as per their policy.

"Namecheap is the one, look nowhere else."
What do you like best about Namecheap?

Namecheap is both affordable and easy to use. I can find what I need at a fair price and easily manage it.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

Namecheap is starting to spread out a bit, they need to stay focused on their core business to keep it the best around.

What problems is Namecheap solving and how is that benefiting you?

I just need a central spot to buy domains and manage them. Namecheap does that without a bloated interface with irrelevant information.

"Best Domain Service Provider"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

Namecheap is the best domain name service provider I have ever used. Rare domain extensions are available here. The last time when I was looking for a .college domain and I found it nowhere except Namecheap. It also has advanced tech & systems and the best thing for me is that it allows redirection without hosting which other providers don't. It also provides free privacy protection which most providers charge for.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

Though the prices of the domains are shown in INR but final payment is made in USD due to which I have to pay forex & other bank charges. And also the UI is pretty old fashion.

What problems is Namecheap solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since Namecheap is built on advanced systems & the UX is just awesome. I was struggling with redirection and Namecheap made it easier for me without having a hosting plan. This way I can save a significant amount of money.
