Why, was it just the support problems you brought up? Myself, namecheap. After years of godaddy loyalty, I got tired of their password requirement issues , dealing with pathetic support, and just awful service in general. Since moving to nc, I have had no issues that have not been resolved, and knowing that Richard always pays attention to WHT's domains forum , a definite + for me.
The emboldened part of your post is why I left GoDaddy. I didn't have any technical problems with their service, but I figured their lack of quality support and general lack of customer loyalty meant that I shouldn't be giving them my business. Namecheap has been more than superb, and I can't recommend them enough.
Amazing! This is the ONLY forum that I've been to where there have been sooo many people that prefer NameCheap over any other registrar. I try to tell people... Yeah NameCheap!
Well, see, namecheap isn't as mainstream as godaddy, and, honestly I like it that way. I doubt you'll ever see a "namecheap girl", or that kind of stuff, but they deliver quality service, which is what matters most!
Oh yeah, never mentioned in this thread, I am in the process of moving my two other domains to namecheap [Pisogaupdate.com and Setsoudesign.com]
Namecheap. I tried GoDaddy. I ended up transferred my domains from Godaddy to Namecheap because you can do almost everything you want in the client area easily. And their supports are superb! Really superb.
I used to use GoDaddy, but then I found namecheap. I kept all my domains at GoDaddy until they announced support for PIPA,SOPA, CISPAPPASPIP, and all those fancy bills. Then i transfered the rest to GoDaddy.
