"An excellent domain hosting company"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

One thing I like about Namecheap is that everything comes under one roof. You can search for domain, purchase them and configure everything quickly within minutes. Their minimalistic control panel with documented features allows you to set up and configure multiple domain name without even knowing anything. Their support is great as well. Their customer care is top notch with a friendly and helpful attitude towards their work. Response was fast and problems were solved quickly. Their site also allows you to use codes for discount while purchasing domains, which means that you're paying a full year of domain name for less than a cup of coffee! They've managed to bring everything under the roof for a new user like me.. Furthermore, I've been a customer with them for about 3 years and will continue to use their product for as long as possible.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

Despite having a simple control panel, the control panel looks outdated. The fonts are too small and the UI just doesn't seem appealing at all. They had an overhaul recently for the design of the website, but not much changes were done.

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

I am just a student that is trying to build up my portfolio. Throughout the past few years that I have use Namecheap, they have never once failed my in regards to using the domain. Problems were solved quickly and absolutely no problems with any domain name routing etc. Everything works as per stated on their website.

"Switched to NameCheap and Never Looked Back!"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

What I like best about NameCheap is the price and quality technical support. I moved all my domains from GoDaddy.com and never looked back.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

Hosted email with NameCheap is a little pricey, but I use email on the web servers, so no big deal.

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

A few dollars doesn't sound like much but when you are a web design and development firm dealing with hundreds of domain names, renewals and more, then it adds up. NameCheap is pretty much what their name implies - domain names for cheap. Never had a problem with them and the times I've had to contact tech support, they are always very helpful. Overall I'm very pleased with NameCheap and the dollars they save my company each year.

"Best, cheapest Domain Registration System"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

It is super easy to use their system for registering domain names and they consistently have the lowest prices for new and renewal registrations. We have moved all of our domains here.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

It took us a while to get use to the new interface and some things still are not intuitive. Sometimes I wish I could go back to the old interface.

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

We manage all of our domain names here and in general are very happy with the service because it saves us money every month. The ease-of-use is also very high although it took us a while to get used to the new interface. Their updates are also lightning fast and extra features like domain privacy are very inexpensive compared to someone like a GoDaddy.

"Excellent"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

I have been searching for a good registrar for a long time and since I've found namecheap I felt right at home. They've revamped the website's UI as well as the admin panel. The support is quite good and the prices fair. It feels safe, secure and reliable.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

There are other companies that provide the same service for a bit less, if namecheap can bring down their prices a notch it would be just amazing, other than that, it's perfect. They have already addressed the issue of the old admin panel layout.

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

Everything from domain name registration to SSL certificates and sometimes hosting. Now that they're providing a new DNS feature I might be try and use it as well.

"Great Customer Support"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

I use Namecheap for all of my hosting and domain needs. I am always on the site researching domain names that I can horde. They make the process simple and they always have some sort of deal or offer. The customer service is great. I needed hem a few times and they always respond quickly. In one situation they noticed that someone had hacked my username and password and they quickly stopped access and immediately notified me. The user interface is easy to use. I use Gmail for my email and they made it very easy to do this with their DNS Management.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

The user interface is simple, but the also have the older version on there and it confuses me at times, but I guess that's so that users can ease into the new way of doing things. Their apps installer can use a bit of upgrading. Some of the software they use are several versions behind.

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

I need place to host my website. I bounced around from several hosting packages and I am happy with this one for now. When I need a domain name they make it easy to search and purchase.

I've never had an issue with Namecheap in the years that I've used them.

"Namecheap is Fnatastic"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

Namecheap has an easy to use hosting solution for small businesses. The best thing about it is the support which is responsive, easy to understand, and available 24 hours a day.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

If I could say anything, negative is that it's a little expensive to renew a domain with them.

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

"The best registrar out there"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

NameCheap is cheap, yes. And that's important in a commodity market like domain name registration. But it's also very easy and intuitive to use, and frankly kind of fun.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

I can't think of anything I don't like about this company / product.

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

I use them both personally and for my business. They are great on both counts, allowing me to easily buy, renew and transfer other domains.
