WOW, WOW, WOW is all I can say.

neverbefore have i seen a domain registrar SO FAST!!!

I have 10 domains with name cheap and i added another one today, and I can expound to you the qucikness of the domain. I registered the domain, paid for if via paypal, setup the custom name servrs, setup account on server.. and in LITERALLY 15 minutes, the site was already directing to my server.

This is very likable characteristic of a domain registrar.

Plus, the attrative price just lured me in. I wouldn't go for any other domain registrar!

I agree - It's one of the best. I am a happy customer of them. I had 19 domains in there. :-D Very fast, indeed.

I am missing something y'all? I have registered names with several registrars now, almost all work in 15 minutes. Do we need to post a registrar ABC is great because of something not even in their control?

smells fishy

Doesn't smell fishy.

NameCheap is excellent. I've used them for several domains :)

OkieBoy,

In your long standing quest to bash our company I see you have resorted to questioning the integrity of innocent posters. All you need to do is look up their previous posts to see that they are not shills for us. I guess your unabashed prejudice prevents that.

What Can I say, you are true class.


If anyone else here wants to see the terrible things we did to okieboy that lead to this you can see here:

You can also see all his wonderful contributions to WebhostingTalk here(you'll notice he makes no contributions here other than to post about us):

I am a fan of NameCheap as much as the next person, and without cause to try and start any type of fight here I ask out of pure curiousity, what would make the difference in how fast a domain name is set up on a registrars side? I have had domains with NameCheap, GoDaddy, TosDomains.net, etc.. and all have propogated in under a half hour for me, but to some people in countires such as Maylasia they still take 48 hours at times no matter which registrar it is.

Again I would like to re-iterate this is not a bash on NameCheap.com, I love them as a registrar, everything from prices to their customer interface, I am asking out of curiousity what would make XX registrar faster than YY?

Hello Justadollar,

As long as the dns updates are live within the registrar, there really won't be any difference as the dns is set at the registry level. The fast propogation is actually due to a system change within the verisign registry. Beyond that it would also depend on how often your own isp refreshes.

Oh and don't worry about bashing us. In order to even approach that status, 90% of your posts would have to be complaints about us(just like okieboy) for a problem that was actually caused by Paypal. :)

I'm not 100% sure of that.

I have been continuously intimidated with threats, character assassination and rude remarks (both in public, searchable threads and in private via PM) simply for speaking out the truth (e.g. that NameCheap is NOT an ICANN-accredited registrar).

Of course, I am different: because I have been a member of WebHostingTalk since July 2002, with more than 2,300+ posts and 90%+ right here in "Domain Name Discussions"; not to say that I am also moderating 2 other popular domain name and web hosting related forums.

Now isn't this surprising. OkieBoy and NameSlave in the same thread about us yet again.

If you have about an hour to kill and you want to see NameSlave's true character, we've been through this all before here http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=363123

NameSlave, just because you've posted 2000 posts does not mean you have any credibility especially by someone who is proud to be an "Alleged Cybersquater" and even goes so far as to name his consulting company CyberSquat.

BTW you never did post those supposed "public threats" you claimed in that last thread. Please go ahead and post them here.

Good experiences, but the seem very unwilling to add helpful services. One of the tersest and coldest responses I have ever gotten.

I mentioned I would love to see a Stormpay.com funding option in addition to the Paypal.com option... making no mention of cancelation, and the reply was basicly "no, we only offer Paypal.com, I'm sorry but if you want Stormpay.com you will have to use another service".

Kinda weird really.

Read the first few pages. Still not sure why you respond with angry personal attacks when someone points out that you are a reseller, not a registrar. It is just a fact.

I've registered domains with resellers and with registrars, it doesn't seem to make a difference in terms of service. I would hesitate to do business with Namecheap not because of your reseller status but for fear that if I ever reported a problem I would be subject to your personal attacks and name-calling.

luckyforlife,

They can not accept all the payment methods available around. You like Stormpay, other likes ikobo, another one firepay. They can not add everything.

They choose PayPal because of the Security, Popularity and Reputation they have around.

ACstudent,

Almost everyone knows we are a re-seller and we have no problem with that. The problem with nameslave is long and ongoing. He makes it a point to try and attack us at any possible chance he can. If you read further in that thread I point out some good examples of this.

The three individuals in that thread all made false statements about our company and when asked to provide proof NOT ONE could produce it. If individuals are going to make false statements about our company you better believe I am going to do whatever I can to set it straight. I would imagine you would do the same in our situation.

Now did I initially over-react initially in that thread, yes. You have to understand that this is a long standing pattern of behavior with these individuals and my frustration did come out for that one post.

I suggest you read the entire thread to grasp the entire situation.

Luckforlife,

If you were responded to in that exact quote that is wrong and unacceptable. I can't see anyone on our staff saying "no" to begin a sentence to one of our clients. "unfortunately" to begin the sentence would be more appropriate. If you let me know who was the individual who responded to you this way I will definitely address him/her about it. In any case I apologize on behalf of our company if this was in fact the case.

Still waiting on you to back up your statement on this.

I agree with Richard on this one, I have been involved and been watching several namecheap threads and I normally always see nameslave trying to bash them in one way or another.

Nameslave, if you read the rules then I would stop bashing them all the time if I were you, as you will most likely soon notice some warning points on your account, or you could simply just be banned by the Moderators as this type of thing is not tolerated.

each person had an experience here or there with a company that doesn't mean the company is good or bad or the person is good or bad.

please lets not get too personal into such thread and carry on with life.

WHT is not a support forum for each company, if you want to reach their support drop them an email or phone call.
