There's a huge drop off in affiliate revenue from GoDaddy to the next most popular registrar. Making Namecheap default would inconvenience most the users and cause a substantial drop in my revenue.
I appreciate where you're coming from, but I'm not sure the pros of switching outweigh the cons.

- polyfractal 15y agoHe's arguing practicality over principals. Suppose he switched to Namecheap and makes a third of his current revenue. Because of this change, the site operates at a loss and he is eventually forced to shutdown the service. Which would you prefer? His site no longer being around, or be slightly inconvenienced by changing the default provider via a dropdown box?
- jbigelow76 15y agoYou're assuming your principles are both universal and correct. The former is not true and latter is debatable.
- rhizome 15y agoSo, it's not really that most people use GD, but that they offer the highest affiliate rates.
- deanpcmad 15y agoMaybe offer people a choice between GoDaddy and/or Namecheap. If you offered Namecheap I would buy domains through your site all the time :)
