> Please stop using this company. Out of curiosity, what are these better alternatives? I think many viewed NameCheap as the better alternative to GoDaddy in the first place. Apparently some were successful with Porkbun for their domains, but I don't think they offer e-mail, hosting as well as a bunch of other stuff NameCheap has. There's also Google Domains I guess, but some are cautious about using too many of Google's services, given automated bans. I'm sure that good alternatives exist out there, but that might mean using a bunch of separate services instead of one (which can be okay), for example: Porkbun for domains, Fastmail for e-mails, Hetzner for servers and so on... Edit: I was wrong about Porkbun, apparently they also provide e-mail and hosting now. Though their front page also has a warning about phishing e-mails.

I saw a lot of people recommending Gandi.net as a Namecheap alternative the last time there was a controversy, and I've recently switched my domains over to them myself. Gandi seems to be a solid provider that's maintained its good reputation for a long while.

  >Gandi seems to be a solid provider that's maintained its good reputation for a long while. Apart from that time when they lost users data AND backups. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822 (Though I am still using gandi, can't fault them otherwise).
