Guess maybe they are ok for just 1 domain ...but I think webair do 7.99 or simlar and free privacy so I cant see much advantage with namecheap ?

transfers to namecheap are $6.99 with code "switch2nc", normal price $7.99.
new domains or renewals are $8.81 with code "interface", normal price $9.69.
www.Godaddy.com is telling me $9.99 for a .com ON SALE, a "whopping" $10.69 normal price. $9.69 at namecheap is the normal price, not a sale price. I don't see where you can get a .com at GoDaddy for 7.19 unless there's a code for it.
A .us at namecheap is $8.88 normal price. Normal price for a .us at GoDaddy is "a whopping" $19.99 (on sale right now for $8.99)
Godaddy also pulls domains for anything they don't agree with, there's plenty of horror stories out there about it. Nothing I've experienced personally, but I'm still moving my domains away from GoDaddy and only 10% of my domains are still there.
I guess godaddy is ok for one domain, or if you need to accept a pushed domain from another account, but I don't see the advantage
I definitely see the advantage with namecheap. I understand you resell Godaddy services/domains or something, which is cool, but personally I'm going to stick with namecheap, moniker, and fabulous.
Also ICANN lists Webair as an accredited registrar but I've never heard of them outside of this forum, so I have no comments one way or the other.
