Following several recommendations I got on HN, I've moved all my domains to Namecheap. It's been pretty solid thus far; haven't had any real issues that I can think of. It'd be nice if their site was a bit less spammy, though.


Been using namecheap for years, i'd recommend them to anybody.


The DNS and email forwarding interfaces are quirky (especially if you're trying to manage multiple domains at once). But, hey, they don't charge for those.


Funny you mention them being solid, as they're being DDoS'd right now. I'm currently dealing with some unreachable web sites as a result...


edit: nm, thanks bbatsell

original comment: Yeah, except if you use them for dns -- which I prefer to leave on my registrar -- they're assholes who spam everyone who mistypes a subdomain. Better yet, they throw ads on there and pocket the money. Cute, right?


You're confusing Namecheap with Name.com. Name.com does that. Namecheap does not.


ugh. thank you.
