Namecheap are ok right now but i see that they are starting some major transformations, including their interface and, i don't know, but i don't spot something good.

I have some domains with them but i'm already starting to migrate to something more smaller which offer more competitive prices, namecheap is not cheap anymore.

What i noticed in general, as a rule of thumb, once a company becomes big and get some sort of monopoly, bad things are starting to happen: they don't care too much about their clients.

I mean, look at Faceb, Google then GoDaddy etc. what they use to be and how they are treating things right now.

The explanation is quite simple: If you go with your friends to a popular/crowded place to drink/eat something, you will immediately notice that things start to evolve more slowly - your food/drink comes a bit too late, their attention is split at too many tables and if you re unsatisfied about their service, they don t care to much, because they know that table will immediately fill with other new clients.

Despise this fact, people still go to crowded/popular places because hey, that's the crowd mentality - if everybody are there, then it must good/safe.

If you want to be treated like a king, go to a more smaller, new bar which is not so crowded and you will immediately see how they care more because their entire business still depends by every big or small customer.

So yeah, I'm pretty sure that it's not one of them.

Namecheap has been getting a lot of business from me lately.. How long before they end up shady too?
