      I bought my domains from namecheap. Seems to be ok, from my point of view.

      I've purchased a lot of domains from them in the past 5 or so years, and have had nothing but great experiences. Do a search for them here on the forum... you'll find that they are one of the better registrars out there.

        Brandon, the link you posted leads to a 98 cent domain transfer deal. Still good value, but not applicable to new domains.

    Thanks for the info, Brandon. For those unfamiliar with Namecheap, many people regard them as far superior to registrars like GoDaddy, including me.

    Merry Christmas coz it looks like it's here early!

      Totally agree with that.

      Their control panel is a lot more user friendly to say the least.

      If they are so superior why can't they invest in some servers that can handle traffic when they have a deal on like GoDaddy can.

        My sentiments exactly! Say whatever you like about Godaddy but at least they can handle the traffic spike. To be honest this is not the first time something like this has occurred with Namecheap.

          Definitely this is a bargain. My problem tho is namecheap's webhosting plans. I want a one-click WP installation. I don't want too much tech activities to host it in another webhosting company. I'm not too techie about it. Too much trouble for me.

          Does someone knows where can I host my planned domain that is WP-friendly and cheap besides namecheap?

          Any, suggestion on this.

            HostGator is WP friendly, but it's better security wise to manually install WP instead of using one-click installation because they use the same default WP_ database prefix.

    To all those who are on the fence, let me tell you this:

    Namecheap is GOOD!


    For real. Several domains hosted with them. No issues at all. Their support rocks as well. Go ahead, sign up with them

    Sounds great, but apparently everyone is scrambling to grab these domains and the site is very slow and not working right. So far I've been unable to add anything to my shopping cart.

      The key is to select your domain and add it to your
      cart a few minutes BEFORE the start time for the
      offer.

      Then, in another browser window, refresh the offer
      page to get the coupon code and then type that
      into the coupon code box in the cart in the other
      window.

      Then choose Express Checkout.

      Otherwise, you get slowed down when all the
      traffic hits the site at the start of the offer.

      Dedicated to mutual success,

      Shaun

      They must be getting slammed right now, because I've been having trouble getting to the checkout page, even after trying multiple times. As they are also a webhost, you would think that they'd be better prepared to handle little traffic spikes like this (especially as they knew about it in advance)!

    I can't get a domain into my cart. There needs to be some kind of distraction, to divert attention away from this domain sale, thus reducing the load on Namecheap's server(s)..

      I just grabbed some domains on name cheap and did not have a problem as of 7:38 EST. They should have know it would be a big rush traffic selling domains for only .98

    Coming up with an unable to process request error.

    Just over 1400 Codes left for the offer.

    Think the servers are crashing with the demand.

    Still no luck. Gotta keep reloading, I guess, or brew a pot of coffee and then check back. It wouldn't surprise me if they extended the deal since they're getting hit so hard. I don't have any problems with Namecheap -- I switched over from 1and1 not long ago. Eh, GoDaddy... I got sick of the endless upsells when all I wanted was a $#!@ domain name.
