    For the paranoid out there, Namecheap has two-factor authentication in place via SMS (Google Authenticator, Authy, and TOTP authentication planned). They also have decent DNS hosting including ANAME updates for dynamic IP addresses (update directly or DNS-O-Matic should you already use them).

    • durendal on 05/02/2014 - 12:31

      Would you know about any deals on com.au domain registration, or who to register with?

      • OpZe on 05/02/2014 - 12:43

        VentraIP are decent, wholesale cost for .com.au is around $19/2 Years so you won't get them much cheaper than that.

        Cheers

    I wonder how hard it is to move from GoDaddy?

    • ryang on 05/02/2014 - 12:44

      Hosting or DNS?
      DNS - request a transfer key, put it into Namecheap, wait patiently….
      Hosting - assuming basic website, just dump the public_html (or similar), any databases, etc and upload into Namecheap

      • RedHab on 05/02/2014 - 12:59

        DNS. I'll give it a try, thanks. I guess GoDaddy isn't going to be in hurry to help.

          You can do it all automatically from your account. I can't remember exactly (closed my godaddy account ages ago due to the whole SOPA thing), but in your domain manager, you have to unlock the domain for transfers, and somewhere in the options is a transfer key.

          They probably have an FAQ about how to do it :) Don't bother with their live chat unless you get super stuck.

        • RedHab on 06/02/2014 - 10:07

          Thanks for the help. It is actually very easy.

          NameCheap has a transfer guide from GoDaddy.

      It says they offer free account migration which a lot of providers do anyway. So you give them your details in a support request and they can move everything for you.
      I would certainly be ditching godaddy after their recent appalling personal security record.

    Had nothing but trouble with my namecheap hosting… Just yesterday it was 502 gateway error… They fixed it pretty quick once I told them but it's been going down every few months, worse since the 'upgrade' last year.

    OK for domain purchase… But hosting can be done better elsewhere in my opinion.

    • ryang on 05/02/2014 - 13:23

      Never used them for hosting, as you said, better elsewhere.

      I'd like to see them update their backend as well - it has a pretty archaic feel to it.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/02/2014 - 13:24

      i have a reseller account through them and yes the 502 is a big problem but they are great with customer service.

  • stickyfingers on 05/02/2014 - 14:06

    Renewed with stupid GoDaddy like 2 days ago -________-

    • machej on 06/02/2014 - 02:20

      One does not simply renew with Godaddy… ever.

      Use namesilo (free whois and coupons) for common tlds or namecheap if there is a special.

  • cheapcheerful on 05/02/2014 - 16:21

    Voucher is active now.

    Also just a note.. this cant be used for domains that have been previously transferred from namecheap.

    Thanks op transferred 12.

  • theduncan on 06/02/2014 - 04:58

    transferred 4, I would have done more, but I renewed many just after Christmas.

  • [Deactivated] on 06/02/2014 - 07:19

    If my recent experience to transfer domain names from godaddy.com (stay away, stay away) to ventraip (good) is anything to go by, the practice to transfer should be avoided.

    • ryang on 06/02/2014 - 07:47

      Noooo… Transferring shouldn't be avoided at all. If it's cheaper somewhere else, move on!

      The main issue would be if you had a heap of DNS entries in the same account. Solution - use a free DNS provider, like CloudFlare, and just keep the nameservers the same all the time.

      • [Deactivated] on 06/02/2014 - 08:00

        … that's well and good if the current domain registrar issues valid codes for the transfer. Took me four weeks of badgering to xfer one name from those aholes at godaddy.

        • ryang on 06/02/2014 - 10:38

          Well that's … special. Only transfers I've had issues with in the past were NZ domains. Last Godaddy transfer went fine!

  • peterpeterpumpkin on 06/02/2014 - 11:14

    Their ongoing prices seem good enough if I get lazy one year.

    It's a shame Crazydomains doesn't let you buy multiple years at the promotional price anymore. You could buy 9 years for $27 back then and then simply transfer to your registrar of choice after 60 days. Lots of time for your business to flourish and fail (speaking of, Facebook just made it to 10).

  • eurofoti on 06/02/2014 - 12:37

    Does anyone know how this compares with the 9web deal? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/130507

    I am in the process or transferring from doteasy to 9web, but just saw this.

    Is it worth transferring from them to namecheap instead?

  • Wish on 06/02/2014 - 19:40
