One click migration is not out of the question. Super early days for Spaceship. There’s no shuffling happening here, I’m simply letting you know about a new platform we’re excited about.

It’s an entirely new brand and platform that’s been in the works for a while.

How would you call this ripping you off? Seems like quite the stretch here. Namecheap is a business — we can choose to take a markup on registrations, which by nature is transparent given that wholesale prices are public. Spaceship has been

Well fair but I welcome you to at least check it out! It’s an entirely new codebase and platform.

We are committed to having competitive pricing at Spaceship for the long term. If you’re concerned, you can also lock in current pricing with multi-year registration. Fwiw, you could say the same about anyone else in the market. Wholesale p

What are you talking about specifically? Namecheap has always been vocal and active with advocating for issues like net neutrality and SOPA.

Ted from Namecheap here. We have launched a new beta registrar, Spaceship.com, which has wholesale pricing on most extensions. A reminder that wholesale pricing is set by each TLD’s registry, not us. Would love your feedback on this early v

Congratulations on the launch. What is a good email to reach you at?

Google does not own .web. They were in the running to acquire it but it will ultimately go to Verisign (who runs .com) after a ~5 year legal dispute.

Will pass on the request.

Still in limbo but looks like Verisign will be able to launch it at some point: http://domainincite.com/27180-verisign-boss-talks-web-launch...

Passing all of your helpful feedback to our Domains PM. Thank you. As I mentioned in another comment, we're developing a new dashboard experience among other things, which we're really excited about.

Support is core to our business and always our main focus but so is UX. We are admittedly a bit behind in improving our dashboard but can promise you that we have already started developing a radically updated experience and will be ready i

Thank you! Bummer re the premium cost on the name that expired.

Not familiar with any .sh price increase but it's certainly possible.. If you can swing it, you can add years to your registration(s) now to lock in the current price before any sort of increase.

We would love to and we are always striving to get as close to wholesale as possible but we do have operating costs — domains are essentially our core business and we have 1,000+ CS agents + a large risk/abuse team that works around th

Check out our tiered pricing. If you qualify, support can set you up! https://www.namecheap.com/domains/tier-pricing/

Btw, would you mind sharing what registrar you worked for? No worries if not but it's a small industry!

No plans for that. We have never even taken any investment and luckily have been growing substantially over the last few years as a bootstrapped company.

Sorry to hear you had trouble with our interface. We do have some pretty substantial updates planned for 2022 and would love to have you back. Feel free to shoot any feedback to ted [at] namecheap.com.

I'm sure they do indeed have special pricing for bulk customers. Although, not sure how much has changed with them since they were acquired by private equity a couple of years ago. I do admit that our API needs some love - fortunately
