Is Namecheap a scammy registrar?
- cbg0 5y agoNope. Renewal is indeed more expensive than the first year and more expensive than Cloudflare overall but they display it quite publicly: https://www.namecheap.com/domains/full-tld-list/ https://www.namecheap.com/domains/full-tld-list/
- zinekeller 5y agoI'll add why Cloudflare is cheaper: it's subsidised. The fee for their own operations is $0.00, they expect you to use their other services though, which is paid.
- kilroy123 5y agoAgreed. It's a little frustrating to always hunt down a coupon code when renewing all my domains.
- rukshn 5y agoGo daddy is definitely scammy. I’m using NameCheap for the domain and hosting of my blog and quite happy with their service and customer support. I’ve also used PorkBun for domain names. Their prices are reasonable as well
- cmetzger4 5y agoNo. I've had domains registered with them for years. They have great support via online chat that I have used a couple times. Also a customer of their email hosting and it has been solid.
- Jamie9912 5y agoNo
- pigbearpig 5y agoI don't think so, I was under the impression they were one of the better ones.
- dudul 5y agoNo they're really good. Been using them for years with zero complaints
- kaushalmodi 5y agoNo, I'm happy with them. I've been using them for many years.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoNo but they made a poor choice when they named their business.
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoNo. Pretty good IMO.
- systemvoltage 5y agoNo. Namecheap is the exact opposite of being scammy. They’re also one of the largest registrars. Perhaps you’re thinking about GoDaddy?
- CRConrad 5y agoIIRC Namecheap and GoDaddy were both named as "scammy" in TFA.
