I’m shopping for a new domain provider. Just seeing what is out there. I’ve been with Namecheap for years, and if i had a gripe, it would be about the price hikes, which really are just ICANN prices kicked down to us, but, I am wondering if there is greener grass out there. Recommendations?
Thanks.
** Edit, an update after doing the math. My working matrix for why I am migrating to Porkbun.
Namecheap > .tv = $40.98
Porkbun > .tv = $26.26
Namecheap > .co = $45.48
Porkbun > .co = $31.20
Namecheap > .net = $18.58
Porkbun > .net = $12.52
Namecheap > .com = $18.48
Porkbun > .com = $11.08
Personally I’ve been pretty happy with namecheap and would stay with them unless you’ve had a problem.
My problem with Namecheap is that they keep jacking up prices year after year. And trying to upsell me on a million little things.
I’m not OP, but I’m also planning to leave Namecheap.
So, why this makes sense for me to leave Namecheap is renewals
Namecheap > .tv = $40.98
Porkbun > .tv = $26.26
Namecheap > .co = $45.48
Porkbun > .co = $31.20
Namecheap > .net = $18.58
Porkbun > .net = $12.52
Namecheap > .com = $18.48
Porkbun > .com = $11.08
I don’t operate any others, but that is pretty self-explanatory.
