I liked how the web interface is organized and that in case of any question, I can easily reach to the customer support. Their support is the best one I worked with so far. They are really trying to understand my needs and address them.
Everything was just fine, nothing to dislike. The service that the company has provided was sufficient for our needs. The only thing that could be done better is the 2FA verification using the Google Authenticator time-based and not onlu using phone number as sometimes the phone is not available.
We used Namecheap for corporate-wide SSL security and domain registration. We have realized the benefits of receiving full grade technical support from the technical team of the company as well as recommendations on how to use the service in more effective way.
I *love* Namecheap. There are many things I love about Namecheap. I've been registering domain names for more than 15 years, and for many years I was with that big company that makes controversial ads during a certain big football game. Now I'm with Namecheap, and I couldn't be happier. First, Namecheap has great prices on domain registration. This is critical. I won't pay significantly more than I have to for domain registration. I'm very pleased with Namecheap's prices, which I find exceptionally competitive. Second, updating my domains (and registering new domains) is drop-dead simple.
Sometimes I feel like it isn't as easy to find things as I would like. For example, if I'm in my account and I click on the Domains link in the menu, it brings me to a page where I can sign up for a new domain, rather than taking me to a place where I can manage all the domains already in my account.
I've been a paying NameCheap customer for several years, and I love working with them. It is the only place where I will register domain names and managing them is quite easy.
Namecheap offers webmasters an opportunity to host their website at a incredible low price. Namecheap also uses cpanel which helps makes tasks more easier and organized. Their customer service is amazing and they response very quick/
There is nothing I dislike about Namecheap. Namecheap is an amazing hosting and domain company.
Some problems I was solving is looking for a website that can host at a great price and great tech specs. We found Namecheap to be one of them that offers that opportunity. It benefits helped us host more than one website and using Wordpress to make everything faster.
Namecheap is the best. Registering domain names is easy. Their management system is simple and easy to learn. What I like best is that Namecheap's domain and privacy renewal prices are so much better than anywhere else. You can't find as many deals for Namecheap but renewing your domain more than 1 year always is cheaper with Namecheap. Their privacy protection is also much cheaper.
They don't offer as many deals as other companies, you rarely find $.99 domains or stuff like that. So you usefully are paying close to full price...the good news is their full price is lower than most everywhere else.
We have registered domains, managed domains, and transferred domains with Namecheap. Its simple and effective.
I like a lot its Customer Support and the recurrent Domain offers. I used to buy my domains in GoDaddy until I had a bad experience with their service, so I tried Namecheap and I have no regrets. Let's me explain why. First, their customer support. Few months ago, I was trying to buy a domain I bought the wrong one (yes, I made that mistake) and as soon as I realized that I ask for help. I told the whole story to the Customer Service and I ask for a change; I'd like to have the other domain name, not the one that I have just bought. They understood my problem, reversed the operation and let me to have the domain I wanted. And that took less than 10 minutes. Second, their recurrent offers. I'm fascinated about their cheap domains, discount coupons and offers. Namecheap always have something great to boy without broke your bank account.
Their administration panel isn't the best one out there. I mean, it could have a better UI/UX or more options to configure a domain.
I'm solving a simple problem: the presence of my startup in the web. And the main benefit I have realized of that process is that I could buy the domains and the SSL certificates without expending too much and having a great customer support.
I think it offers good products and services, I only use the domain service. It is very easy to use and configure.
Sometimes they send too many emails to report that a service is due.
It offers economic domains and customers like that.
The best thing about namecheap is that you know you'll be getting the best possible price on the domain without sacrificing any usability or customizability.
Chat support is great, but unfortunately there is no phone support at this time.
The ability to quickly grab a domain name after having figured out which you want, as well as being able to configure it according to your needs, is a key business objective in today's environment.
Namecheap makes it very easy for you to manage your domain names and other services. It also makes it very clear on their site if you have domains or services that are about to expire. Configuring domain forwarding on their site is also very convenient and easy to set up. Competitive prices!
Nothing! I haven't had an issue with Namecheap in the four years that I've been using it to host my domains!
I wanted to transfer my domain to another host, as well as purchase another domain.
I had all my domains with GoDaddy but couldn't take them anymore. GoDaddy's MO is to pull you in with great offers in the beginning, but when it's time for renewal they don't offer you any discounts and make you pay an exorbitant full retail price. Ironically, I'd gone to GoDaddy after getting gouged by companies like VeriSign and Web.com but GoDaddy ended up being just like them. I caught wind of NameCheap on several discussion forums. Turns out a lot of other folks were just as fed up with GoDaddy as I was. People spoke of the great service and the low prices--their standard prices were lower than what GoDaddy used to charge with a discount code, and they offer monthly emails with additional discounts to boot. I was skeptical at first, especially with the word "cheap" in their name. But I was pleasantly surprised. Their transfer process is very easy to understand and follow and their prices are great. I would comment on their customer service, but their processes were so easy to follow that I didn't even need to contact them.
You do need to have a certain amount of expertise in DNS to manage your domain names with their service. Since I'm somewhat of an expert at DNS I can't say I "disliked" this, but I can see how some might.
The need is simple--as a small business my budget is small to begin with, and I don't have the money nor the patience to pay bloated prices for features I don't need. I ended up saving hundreds of dollars by switching from GoDaddy to NameCheap with no loss in service.
The transparency with the prices and services
The dashboard or admin site can improve a lot more.
I create websites for people, and have started several few small projects
