that’s “globally recognised”? Run from them as fast as possible if you would any of your services to work

Well obviously yes, namecheap have been around a very long time and after GoDaddy (the default in the early 2000s for most people) Namecheap became a kind of default. One would think that a company with an online presence going back over two decades, and one a relatively low number of domain registrars, is "globally recognised".

Whether they're "good" or even "passable" is another matter entirely, but without switching away from Google to Namecheap for a few months, one wouldn't have much of an idea. And now I know.

How many really decent email providers are there aside from Google? What's today's obvious choice? And will they last?

		I find it surprising NameCheap is taken as default on some markets. From where I am from. NameCheap emerged is fairly recent service provider. While their services are shall we say "passable", the support is where it is absolutely atrocious. It seems like they hire eastern european staff just to explain you that you are the problem. Even GoDaddy is not famous for doing it. Talking about decent emails providers can get discussion heated quite shortly. Historically I arrange most important chunck of mail as self hosted, but of course it's not the way many people would take.
