Namecheap is sooo much better than Godaddy

    I've been with Godaddy for more than 7 years. I've finally made the switch today by registering a couple of domains with Namecheap. I can safely say now that Namecheap's interface is sooo much better than GoDaddy, it's not funny. They even allow payment via paypal!!

    Godaddy was such a industry leader before. They were once the only place to register a domain. How the mighty have fallen.

    Godaddy accepts paypal
    I don't mind Godaddy, but I must say that with Namecheap, it's much easier to transfer domains

    I agree. The best part about Namecheap is that it allows payment via an unverified Paypal account. :)

    i've always gone with godaddy on domain adds but will consider namecheap (namescheap?) in the future. agree on bob parsons though, usually is an egocentric CEO. ever listen to his radio show? funny listen...

    eh, everyone has there differences, i have most of my domains with GD, but one with NC.

    Not bad though. However i dont like GD's interface now.

    Very confusing.

    Yep, Namecheap is sooooo much better than Godaddy, as they both are sooooo much expensive and lack of features and good support service in comparison to other established hosting services, I'm afraid :D

    Namecheap is fast, no upselling, and have no stupid 60 day ruling for whois contact changes, unlike Godaddy. I agree they have a fast and easy control panel.

    In Godaddy, if you tinkered around with your contact details and later want to transfer out...forget it...just playing around with your contact details will entitle your name to a 60 day lock, no questions asked... :rolleyes:

    Other registrars/resellers dont seem to have this ruling...but then again, always check and clarify first.
