On: Namecheap launches free public DNS

[ndiscussion]

I actually went to register a new domain a few moments later and saw this. I have noticed it getting a little slower but overall I stand by my statements about the support.

That said, this announcement and emergency maintenance combo is not a good sign to me. Sigh.

Curious what you're using now?

I moved my domains (50) from namecheap to porkbun and cloudflare for these reasons:

* the price of a domain would change after placing it in my cart or purchasing it (the purchase would be refunded, but it was still frustrating.)

* WhoisGaurd renewal messages and "warnings"; I needed a registrar that provides whois privacy - without a fuss.

* namecheap's dashboard only shows 5 domains on the first page, and they are not sorted by soonest to expire.

* slowness experienced when using their website

* their competitors are cheaper

https://tld-list.com/ is pretty nice for comparing pricing.

Just a simple thanks for this, signed up my new domain with them and will be transferring my others soon. I was out of touch.
