"Bait and Switch - Be Careful Before Committing"
What do you like best about Namecheap?

They seem to do pretty well hitting their 100% uptime SLA.

What do you dislike about Namecheap?

Its a full bait and switch with your plans after year 1. They are worse than the cable companies. Prices go up 4x after the first year for hosting and 2x for domain registration - all for no additional value. With no additional value, it is simply a money grab. The kicker is the inconvenience to switch, which is why I would recommend not even using them in the first place.

What problems is Namecheap solving and how is that benefiting you?

Domain registration and website hosting
