They are hosting fake websites impersonating real websites. Their support does not take action when reporting on these fake websites. Iwould think twice before doing business with them.
I am shocked at all the unfounded statements being left here for namecheap. As I purposely began reading the negative reviews here, it quickly became somewhat obvious that these were possible competitors. I have YET to find one negative review that actually states a particular reason for the negative review (saying, “the backend does not work as it should” is like saying “pizza does not taste like it should”…it’s a nonsense statement until there’s a common-ground of what pizza must taste like to satisfy all mouths around the globe). For the guy that left namecheap a bad review simply because he was asked to verify the account, you WOULD appreciate that if you were hacked at the registrar-level. Everybody knows how many ip addresses cloudflare has, but since their security is so lax my entire domain was hacked upstream and beyond my control (that hack left me only receiving one block of ip’s of 162.x.x.x from cloudflare). I’ll have to read the other reviews left for namecheap later. As far as redundancy in verification, I for one find that very agreeable. On top of that, I will say this, namecheap beat cloudflare’s response time hands-down in transferring domain names. I mean when I went from google as my registrar to cloudflare it took forever to reflect (as a matter of fact I had to complain to icann just to force the change). Every site on the web regurgitates the same time frame 5-7 days but namecheap is somehow able to beat that window. Can’t beat that. Okay I’m back to address the bad review konstant left concerning renewal…perhaps that guy didn’t check the “auto-renew” button? Who’s fault is that? As far as Sean Patterson’s negative review, there is absolutely no substance to any of the volume of words (namecalling without premise). What I mean is, the difference between saying I hate you because you are a worm and I just hate you is that one statement is backed up with a reason and the other is just sheer hate.
Been using Namecheap for over 10 years. Good support if you know the basics of domains, setting up emails, cpanel, etc… Great prices and nice support even if they’re remote. I have never had a problem.
Not the cheapest.
But the support replies extremely quickly.
Would recommend for domains.
Excellent company and service.
By far the best in class and performance
