Re: Namecheap.com: We say no to SOPA
#2I moved all my domains from GoDaddy to Namecheap a while ago. The experience was really smooth, and Namecheap's interface is a TON easier to work with.
Although I support the idea of switching domains from GoDaddy to protest their support of SOPA, I sort have to wonder why anyone technically oriented hasn't done so already. Is there ANYTHING to recommend them other than name recognition?

I made the move back when GoDaddy pulled Fydor's domain w/o warning. I'm glad to see that I don't have to hunt down yet another registrar that supports freedom.

Prices. Nobody beats godaddy on prices when you use coupons (which exist everywhere). Also brand recognition, looking at their public support forum and Facebook I would suspect a large number of their customers don't know how registrars and hosting work, so they don't know anything beyond godaddy.

Historical reasons. I've had my domains with them for almost ten years. Ten years ago they were the geek registrar of choice.

They also gladly accept PayPal, to be fair.

#8When I was growing up and learning about DNS, HTTP, protocols, and packets I really wanted to get my own domain, but being under 18, I had no easy way to pay a registar without a credit card.
Namecheap was one of the first registrars to accept Paypal, and this helped me get started when I was first developing my passion for web development.
I've been using them for years and plan to continue using them for a long time.

They don't really have a choice about that.
