the domains here are cheap indeed like xyz only for a buck!! but nobody wants those because those feel like a cheap and scam website so it meakes more sense to go with those .com 's and those are 7$ not that cheap, but not too expensive either!

Good service of getting domains from. They have a bunch of on-going promotions to get the solid one on a decent price, pay cheaper, like the name suggests. I thought that in the USA, prices should be much higher, but as it turns out, I could get com. Domain, for around $7, good deal. The major minus, is sometimes, instability in workflow, certain glitches happen from time to time, smth like that.

has some drawbacks that can be frustrating. While their domain registration is affordable, the checkout process often feels cluttered with upselling for additional services, which can be annoying. I’ve also experienced slower response times from customer support, especially during peak hours, which isn’t ideal when you need quick help.

Scammers and spammers are heavily abusing this hosting. I report them, but I don't see any reaction: no replies, the scam and spam sites are still running. So I guess legit businesses better be out here. Not a good thing to run on the same hosting as abusers. Not a good thing to be registered with domains of spammers and scammers.

It's quite an okayish service but not without cons. For example it was unclear to me how to set up hosting. Specialists from the company weren't in hurry to help me out while I needed it. So I can say because of this my impressions were spoiled a bit. Nonetheless, I should say that the range of offered services here is quite broad, that is the reason why I anyway decided not to consider other companies to resolve my issue with setting up a hosting. Guys, just fix this trouble and it's ok.

That's a hub for those who want to build a website and take domain in rent or buy it fully. i used this service to purchase bulk of emails for my marketing purposes. You can easily insert the required sum of mailboxes and then pay for them. The price is fair enough, I didn't have my jaw dropped right after I noticed how much I should pay for business emails. At some services the price is twice higher, so these guys are ok.

Their domain name price is cheap but they increase the price in every renewal. I bought a domain name for $9 and every year the renewal price keeps increasing. Last time I renewed it for $15. I think it would be best if the renewal price was the same for every year.

NameCheap are SCAMMERS, they will steal your domain name Idea from you when you search for a new domain name it would available then after few hours it would be taken by one of their agent and they blackmail you to pay min 200euro to bid on it. This is illegal and unethical.

I have purchased domains here several times. The prices are quite adequate, not overpriced. English-speaking, user-friendly interface and polite technical support.

When I look for new domains with the new extensions, I use their "Beast Mode" and I advise, because they offer more extensions than other registrars to my knowledge. By the way, are they "cheap" as their name indicates? Yes for domains.

They've banned all Russian clients for politics, no refunds. Beware as they doesn't find anything bad in scamming millions of user in one second.

best for domain, hosting price still high

Beware! If you want to close your account - they won't let you. They don't do refunds. And if you sell your domain for less than $100.00, they will keep the money. Their support is a joke. They keep emailing the same canned responses without answering the question. So Frustrating!
