I read Namecheap were sloppy on some security issues, like heartbleed vulnerability. They also swapped my contact info with theirs on several of my domains.

- Bill_Dimm 12y agoDid they give an explanation for the contact info getting changed (assuming you complained about it)? I'm wondering if it might be related to a botched data transfer between them and Enom (which does the actual registrations for NameCheap). The Enom link does seem to create problems sometimes. I once tried to renew a batch of domains and it reported that a few failed, so I did those ones again and got double-billed for them (customer service fixed it promptly). Other than that, I haven't had any problems with them (no contact details changed, although I just remembered that their email to confirm contact info once gave wrong data [I think my apartment number was dropped or something like that] when the actual whois was fine).
- danielweber 12y agoMaybe this is snobbish, but I wouldn't trust a critical piece of business infrastructure to a company with the word "cheap" in the title. Cheap pens and pencils? Sure. Cheap mouse pads? Okay. Cheap UPS or cheap name registrar? Nope.
