Why Namecheap Kicks Ninja Butt
Sep 2nd
Are you in need of a domain registrar? One that is reliable, easy to use and affordable. How about one that has a groovy affiliate program.
Then you will be happy to hear about Namecheap. This is my registrar of choice and has been for about 2 years now. I have all but one domain name registered through Namecheap, so that would be almost 15. Why do I choose Namecheap over others more well known (and marketed) such as craptastic Go Daddy?
Well for one thing they DO NOT bombard me with a bazillion ads and offers when I try to quickly register a domain name. They DO NOT send me a gagoolian emails asking me to sign-up for this whatchamacallit and that whoneedsitcrap.
But what I really digg about Namecheap is their super easy-no fuss interface. It’s all laid out real simple and makes for a nice experience, plus they have several cool features built-into their registration process. Whenever you register a domain name, you can set it up so that it AUTOMATICALLY sets up DNS from your server a/k/a webhost. This makes it nice and quick to register and set up a new domain name for that quickie blog you want to create. (and maybe sell)
Here are some more cool features from Namecheap:
- Easy login
- Easy account set-up
- Easy domain search
- Discount on transfers from another registrar (like craptastic Go Daddy or Yahoo)
- A marketplace which allows you to quickly sell and push domain to another NC user
- Twitter integration (not sure I like this but its available)
- Affiliate program – 15% commission on referred customers
- Monthly discount promo codes on new registrations
- Free Who Is Guard (contact info privacy)
- Quick registrations
- Payment via Paypal is accepted
- Live Support
- Forums
- They have a Facebook fan page and Twitter account
- Cheap domains (less than $9 with coupon code)
- All TLD extensions (including the new .ME)
- Free email/URL forwarding
- Easy as pie control panel
If you’re a blogger, internet marketer or site flipper then you know you NEED a domain registrar you can count on and one that is easy, quick and affordable.
Namecheap is my choice.
