I haven't tried namecheap DNS recently, but I used to use it. I hated DNS. It would just take hours and hours for any change to propagate, regardless of TTL and it was just extremely painful to work with. I thought this was just the way DNS was, until I switched to cloudflare. Suddenly, new records appeared instantly and changes applied in seconds or minutes it felt like pure magic.
So, that's my review of Namecheap freeDNS. I suppose they make it bad on purpose so people upgrade to their premium DNS?
- asah 8y ago+1 love namecheap but DNS would regularly fail esp "v2"
- jorgec 8y agoYesterday I configure NameCheap DNS and it propagated to the first DNS in 15 minutes and globally I think it could take an hour if not less. Sometimes the problem with the DNS is not the propagation but the cache, usually, the DNS is cached locally so we (as end-users) are unable to see the changes unless we refresh the dns and it is not automatic.
- dkersten 8y agoI’ve been using namecheaps free DNS work in recent weeks and it propagated super quickly (2 or 3 minutes, I used a dns checker to see and various hosts around the globe all saw the changes). For my own stuff, I use digitalocean for hosting so use their nameservers for DNS.
