We're in the process of migrating away from Namecheap. They've been having DNS issues lately, as recently as last week (16 November) their entire DNS infrastructure was unexpectedly down for several hours.

Other registrars offer pretty similar pricing and don't suffer from as frequent outages. We were hardly the only people affected. Check their Twitter[1] for other people complaining of DNS outages.
