I love the added incentive to move. With domains, it's so easy to just stick with the status quo since you only have to think about it at max once a year, and transferring is actually a bit of a PITA.

I use namecheap for all dozen or so of my domains and I recommend them to all of my friends who get domains. I've always been very pleased with the No-BS service they provide. This is just icing on the cake.

I use them for everything except .io domains. Gandi is $20 cheaper. I'm still waiting for Namecheap to reduce their price.

Ok, so I have a bunch of domains on Godaddy pointing at a bunch of sites on Digital Ocean and DreamHost. Is it really worthwhile transferring all of them over to Namecheap and setting everything back up? Besides not being Godaddy, i'm curious what the upsides are?

That depends if the domains are valuable to you. For example, see this post, which could have been prevented by a registrar that was more secure.

Whether it's a pain or not depends on how you have the domains setup. If you use Digital Ocean and Dreamhost for your DNS, it won't be a problem at all, you just transfer and it copies the correct DNS with the transfer. If you are using Godaddy as your DNS as well, then you'd probably first want to transfer the DNS to Dreamhost/Digital Ocean before initiating the transfer.

I really wish that Namecheap would stop reselling under ENOM. It's the one thing that I don't like about them.

Why isn't Namecheap their own registrar? Namecheap IS a valid registrar, but they're still reselling domains from ENOM...

Or you could just donate directly to EFF and cut out the middleman.

Maybe I'm too cynical, but I tend to be very skeptical about "buy things and help a good cause" promotions. People like to buy things, and people like to feel they're supporting a good cause. This satisfies both impulses, but the vast majority of the revenue goes to the company not the nonprofit.

This is awesome! Love NameCheap. Network solutions is totally screwing me right now by charging me $15 randomly for customer support and things I'm not ordering. And I can't get a refund after 6-7 hours on the phone...
